| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Looking due west, this fireball was brightly visible against a still light sky. Appearing above the first foothill west of town, it disappeared behind the foothill from my vantage point - so I was not observing it with relation to the horizon, but the foothill. |
