| Name | Shawn A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I witnessed a meteor fireball once before, a few years ago, with a similar brightness, length of visibility in my field of vision, and green colored tail. This time, I heard a Pop sound as well, and wondered if the meteor touched down nearby (though I know that was likely an illusion as it passed out of sight from the area of sky visible to me). |
