| Name | Ryan C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | With all that is being said, I am unsure if this is a fireball. but the duration of time it took to see it was very short which tells me it could be something related. It didn't come off as any sort of space vehicle to me. What I can say is that I have never seen something so large and bright before in the night sky in my lifetime of 27 years. from my point of view I could put my fist straight out in front of me and it would appear as wide as my fist. |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | it was such a short time to see it, but it appeared to be either really really large, about the width of the tree I was looking at from my perspective, or I think I may have seen multiple other fragmentations spread out to the side creating the giant bright blob of light I was looking at. |
