| Name | Dawn R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My daughter and I truly did believe we saw a firework or flare when we saw the green light brighten and spark out and noticed a sulfur smell, initially I was excited we were seeing a shooting star. It wasn't until I saw the news this morning that I realized we did see something. It happened as I was driving, so I couldn't get a picture or anything. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Fast moving, thought was shooting star at first, except it was bright green, then assumed it was a colored flare or fireworks because it got brighter as it moved then sparked out and we thought we smelled a bit of sulfur odor, and assumed it was just fireworks since living in a more rural area people sometimes set of fireworks, but there really wasn't sound we noticed. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It looked like a firework, like a Roman candle, saw the object glow and tail initially, as it got brighter green it sparked out and disappeared like a Roman candle or flare would. Also seemed to be a sulfur odor when it happened. |
