| Name | Annie B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was a particularly bright full moon night in the middle of town with 0 visible stars and this fireball was so bright I first noticed it as a sudden reflection in my car window. When I turned, all that was left was the tail and it lasted for another few seconds before vanishing. I honestly thought a powering was igniting before I realized it was celestial in origin. |
