| Name | Randall H |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | My first thought besides "WOW!" was that it looked like space junk. The fragmentation, and coloration made me think that. I've seen many smaller and larger meteors and fireball behavior during showers, and while imaging deep sky objects and casually observing the rest of the sky while the equipment is running, and this was unlike a regular meteor. |
