| Name | Michael C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | brightness was similar to that of fireworks, and I had enough time to stand up, look out the window and observe a bright green dot streaking across the sky. It then broke into at least 3 but possibly 4-5 separate and similar bright green fragments. The fragments burned up (disappeared from view) shortly after separating. |
