| Name | Jessica G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball looked to be heading W or possibly SW. It was visible at the top of the sky, heading downwards (not streaking left/right). Appeared to be “falling” onto the area where Lick Observatory is, from my location. It was also quite large (not a teeny streak), and was very, very bright. |
