| Name | Amanda P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving south on the highway, and we passed a mountain which obscured the rest of our view. So we didn't get to see the termination of the fireball. But we watched it get brighter and then a tail formed, it got brighter. Just then, the mountain blocked our view. |
