| Name | Zoe H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Never seen anything like this, we have dark sky status here, it was a clear night/morning, the flash made me look up from garden and appeared to head straight to earth, an initial large flash and then appeared to break up into much smaller pieces, it was definitely something entering the atmosphere and then burning up but was extremely large - very amazed to see have seen it - it all happened above the mountain sky line |
