| Observer | |

| Name | Veronica L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was listening to radio, couldn't tell if there was noise, the meteor path arced, not straight. very low, and amazingly wide and long smoke trail left. It was somewhere around 9:15 to 9:25 PM, I think. The smoke trail went from where I first noticed it traveling, to after where I saw it explode in a bright blue changing to white explosion. |

| Remarks | There was a complete arc of smoke trail from where I saw it come in from NEE to SSW and past where I saw it explode, very wide in the night sky. It was much wider than a jet trail and I still saw it an hour later. I guess it kept going after I saw it explode. |
