| Observer | |

| Name | Ned S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have an 8" Dobsonian telescope out 3-5 times a month and sit out with binoculars at least 10-15 nights a month(30+ min. viewing sessions). Been doing this for the last couple of years. I've seen half a dozen true fireballs and countless meteors in that time. This one was by far the biggest and brightest I've ever seen. I'll remember this experience for the rest of my life! |
