| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Saw meteor out of bedroom window. From my viewing point, it appeared to fall straight down out of the sky and looked like it landed really close to our home, within our neighborhood. We had fans and TV on so was unable to hear anything when it landed. Meteor ball was super bright. Lasted only seconds. |
