| Name | Jackson M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was with three other people who all saw it. We were smoking on my back porch and saw a flash of light that I thought was either lightning or a police car, then the girl who was facing the direction of the meteor pointed it out and we saw a bright ball of light streak down into the horizon, heard a slight whoosh, and watched the trail of light fade behind it. |
