| Remarks | It turned to a barely visible reddish dot that did not appear to be a glowing trail, but rather the meteor traveling after having lit up. At that point it was only visible using peripherals. The person outside with me didn't see the flash of light, but was able to spot the traveling "dot" after I pointed it out. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I noticed an initial flash that caught my attention (as I was star gazing) and looked to see another very bright flash lasting for probably a second. |
