| Name | Ryan M |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed to brighten and widen in the middle of the path where I saw it. Wider than a shooting star, brighter, seemingly slower than most meteors, faster and much wider than any satellite. Might have been slight color, not noticeable with the surprise. Since I'm much more nocturnal than most, travel a lot at night, etc, I've seen a few fireballs in various places across the country over the years. A handful. Not a lot. This one seemed slower than most smaller meteors. This was more bollide size, got brighter, almost a flash midpoint. |
