| Name | Casey C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the single most impressive celestial even I've ever seen, and it makes up for never seeing the auroras. The object was so large and bright it appeared close enough to make a sound on impact, but we heard none. We were driving back to Dunedin from Gore and saw it on the Clinton-Gore highway sometime between seven and eight pm. |
