| Name | Laird L |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this! Came from South SE to North NW. Huge fire ball with extremely long firey, smokey tail. Then as it went from my far right to my far left, it broke into 3 pieces and continued to break apart until we lost site of it. I thought for sure we would see it hit the mountains. |
