| Name | Arick C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The 3:30 AM time of sighting was an estimate, it was within a 10-15 minute window of the given time. Black object was visible within very colorful bright light. Entire camp and surrounding forest lit up bright blue almost as bright as day. A friend of mine told me about seeing a similar meteor from almost the same location, traveling a similar trajectory only two weeks prior, during the peak of the perseid shower |
