| Name | Caitlin R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My description regarding angles and the exact time might not be accurate, but I could not let this one go unreported. I’m glad to have found this website, and I would be so surprised but grateful if someone else has a report for this that is more precise. It was the most brilliant and bright meteor I’ve seen. |
