| Name | Tristen H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | It is important to note that the direction in which I was facing is rough, but not exactly correct, and the first sighting/direction/disappearance direction may be completely wrong. This is due to the fact that the satellite mapping that is being used is too old to display my current location directly. It is also important to note that another fireball-like object (most likely not a fireball, but it could have been) entered the same field of view ~25° E heading towards the horizon, but I do not have enough info to provide an independent report on it. |
