| Name | Dan M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many shooting stars, satellites, flashes from satellites. Most meteors fall from the sky and burn out very quickly. This one was bigger than I ever saw. It's trajectory was horizontal from east to west and did not burn out during my sighting. Very cool experience. I assumed it was very far away, maybe even thousands of miles away |
