| Observer | |

| Name | Bruce E |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | this looked more like a fireworks (Roman candle) than your typical meteor or fireball. My perception was that it was close and moving slow, especial near the end of its run, unlike a speeding meteor. I left the observation thinking yeah, it must have been some person setting off fireworks by the road, as it was so bright, with all the fiery bits, and seemly close. |
