| Name | Eric S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The time I gave is approximate and might be off by several minutes, but it's probably pretty close. I've seen several memorable meteors over the years, and this one was definitely the brightest and most colorful. Vivid reddish-orange and left a noticeable trail. |
