| Name | Craig J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was bigger and brighter than videos I have seen online for a meteor. Maybe an asteroid? I have a video of the trail after the fireball went away that I can share. A loud boom was heard shortly after the trail disappeared which was probably 60 seconds after the fireball disappeared. |
