| Name | Laurel K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was an amazing experience. The other 2 people I was with did not see it. When we pulled off to get gas a few minutes later, 2 men were talking about seeing the meteor also. We shared our experiences. The explosion left an impression on me, just like a firework exploding. Pieces of blue and white. |
