| Name | Brenda B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Had seen several (about 7) very consistent small/quick (only lasting 1 second) meteors in previous hour. This large one was witnessed by both myself and another person. It was distinctly different from what we'd seen in terms of color, size, glowing tail, and length of time. SO NEAT! |
