| Name | Jacob P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Driving southbound on I-15, both my wife and I saw the bright flash and the streak in the same spot, was very brief. It was significantly bigger and brighter than “shooting stars” that we have seen many times before. No other lights as bright in the sky, including planes on approach to land at SLC airport. |
