| Observer | |

| Name | Roman D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When I first noticed the meteor, it was already falling behind a large patch of clouds overhead, so I don’t know the exact duration of its flight. Sorry for the motion blur in the photo—I was just about to shut off my DSLR when I noticed it flying behind the clouds. I quickly panned my camera toward a large clearing and managed to capture the tail end of its entry. |
