| Name | Doug V |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I don't know about any concurrent or delayed sound, I was in a moving car. Also, the time is approximate; I wasn't aware what I had seen might be a fireball (or that I might wish to report it) until I got home and tried to learn about the most interesting meteor I have ever seen. |
