| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Before I saw it disappear, the main part of the meteor was a bright yellow, I then noticed that the tail started to disappear, then the main meteor flickered in and out than turning completely white and was still flickering, before it completely disappeared. I'm convinced that it flew into our atmosphere, then out of our atmosphere and did not burn out. |
