| Name | David H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Lasted long enough that my son and nephews were able to get my attention before I looked up. Very bright, blue-green, fiery tail that got longer near the end of the event. Very bright, even at twilight. Couldn't tell if there was fragmentation--could be that pieces were breaking off as it burned up, but they didn't have separate trails--the pieces, if they were pieces, just disappeared as the fireball continued. Glad I saw it. Everyone in the parking lot was buzzing about it. Impressive. |
