| Name | Joy J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | the whole flash looked so low on the horizon I considered going outside to look for a meteor. I live right across from an elementary school and was laying in bed when I saw it, it happened nearly right above the roof of the school. It appeared to be very low and I initially thought it was a firework then realized no sound followed. |
