| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jim, Tien, Ella, Nika F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Although rather small, this meteor was remarkable because it did last almost 4 seconds (enough time to catch attention, turn head, point, and say 'theres a meteor' before fragmentation...so all four family members observed) and was a vertical up -> down with terminal fragmentation and minor flash. |
