| Remarks | I hope it was really a meteor! It was very exciting, I had just parked in my garage and was walking towards the house and saw this amazing bright flash. Unfortunately it happened so fast I wasn’t able to get a picture. If you have any questions, I will do my best to remember. Thank you. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | There was a bright white light, much larger than a normal star (but no where near as large as the moon). And it kind of flashed and then it looked like it was falling, and there was a green kind of trail, and I think a little orange when it went behind the trees and houses and I couldn’t see it anymore. I think I might have seen Venus earlier from another location, and this was much brighter and larger than that. |
