| Name | Ebony F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was slow moving and much more spherical, and red glowing, than any other meteor/comet/satellite, I have ever witnessed. It was a ball; no trail or tail either; just a soft, red, round glow. It truly was a "fireball"! I have never seen ANYTHING like it! It was spectacular. |
