| Observer | |

| Name | Tom G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | -When entering the time, the website notes this as night time, but there were few clouds and it was still quite bright outside (definitely no stars visible yet, street lighting still off), yet it was still very much bright enough to immideatly catch my attention, even though it was in the corner of my vision -Strong winds in pretty much the same direction as the meteor was traveling, closed window, wearing a headset so even if there was a loud bang (didn't hear anything), i wouldn't have been able to hear. -The glowing stopped rather close to the ground, but i wouldn't be surprised at all if some pieces made it to the ground. |
