| Name | Eric S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | To better pinpoint this I happen to be staring at the Big Dipper when this fireball appeared to the left of it. It lasted approximately three seconds. Much lower, brighter, and more orange in color than any standard “shooting star” or meteor shower I have witnessed. |
