| Name | Courtney M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving at the time on I-83 north in MD so many of my answers are just best guesses. Time is accurate. Looked like a shooting star, traveling roughly west to east, fairly low on the horizon in a shallow arc and bright white. Fragmented into a smaller and larger piece, then fizzled out. |
