| Name | Jo-Anna D |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Clarification: I am an avid night sky gazer. I don't know if I would consider myself an astronomer: if so, then very amateur, but I am greatly drawn to the sky above, and am always looking UP. I am eagerly always learning more about astronomy and am utterly fascinated by it. Creation is beyond amazing! |

| Persistent train | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 9s |
| Length | 8° |
| Remarks | It looked like a smoke trail, with a bit of glow, and seemed to last and last (although about 8 seconds). I stood there, gaping with my mouth hanging open, and literally gasped aloud. What a spectacular fireball. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I saw the bright streak, which had a 'ball' on its western end. The streak seemed orange, while the fireball looked green. All of a sudden it gave a vibrant flash (without sound) and then I saw the residual trail. (I was on my early morning walk under the night sky in a rural area; this was an exceptional treat to witness.) |
