| Name | Brinton E |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Saw it mostly straight up and went far to the West. From my direction, it seemed like anyone In Wilmington, Delaware or Pennsville, NJ would have seen this directly. 2nd brightest object seen in my lifetime. It was very large object maybe mostly blue in the tail and maybe orange or yellow. It fizzled for a moment then became bright again. I thought it might hit the ground but didn't hear anything. |
