| Name | Theodor P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very hard to judge the distance. It looked like it was over Lake Chetek, but I’m sure it was probably hundreds of miles away. I got out of my car immediately, but did not hear any boom. I’ve seen shooting stars before, but my immediate thought while seeing it was that somebody shot off a Roman candle or some sort of firework until I noticed it was going down at an angle. I did not record the exact time, but I assume that it was between 10:13 and 10:15 PM central time I am 100% sure it was a meteor entering earths atmosphere. I’ve never seen anything close to that in real life reminded me of that Russian meteor from a few years back that all those dash cameras caught. Hope this is of some use. Thank you for your time. |

| Remarks | The object seemed to be bright Until the last second I saw it. It got very bright for a second, and then went completely dark. I was sitting in my car at the time. I’m almost sure it probably fragmented, but I could not see any pieces of it falling. |
