| Observer | |

| Name | M K |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I did not see the beginning of the event because I was close to my house and an overhanging roof obscured that area of the sky. First seen coming out from behind roof of my house, near zenith, as it was passing by phi Auriga, then travelled between epsilon and delta Perseus. It ended at 25 to 30 deg elevation 12 to 15 degrees west of alpha Cassiopeia. |
