| Name | Wendy B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This sighting occurred as I went out to walk my dogs. I was thinking what a clear, quiet night it was when the meteor caught my eye and made me gasp. Just to be clear on its trajectory, it appeared to be coming straight down. I was looking over the roof of the duplex to the west/southwest of mine. It was very bright and was flashing even brighter as it disappeared behind the roof. I then hurried past that duplex, still looking westward, but it was gone. When I took my dogs back inside a couple of minutes later, I noted that the clock said 2:15 AM. I sent a quick message about it to our local news station WANE 15 shortly thereafter. |
