| Name | Tom H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared for all of two seconds. The trajectory was upper left to lower right, downward at a 30-45 degree angle. The flash was so bright that, even though I wasn't looking directly at that position in the sky, it was bright enough to see within the corner of my peripheral vision, and lasted just long enough for me to see it for about two seconds. |
