| Name | Annette M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The moon was about 3/4 at the time, clear skies. I could see a large cloud that contained connecting circles come out from behind Wheeler peak (14,000 ft.) Taos Mountain, a few seconds after everything went black. It floated off to the north. The fireball disappeared directly below Venus and slightly to the right of the peak. I was at about 7,000 ft at the time. |
