| Name | Alex H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I heard a sound a few seconds after the fireball disappeared in the sky, like screeching of tires.

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I observed a bright flash, then what looked like a particularly bright shining star. It rapidly grew brighter. The center was bright white, I would estimate it was slightly larger in the sky than the moon . It was surrounded by a halo of red particles flying off it, in a manner similar to a very subdued sparkler. |
