| Name | Leigh B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was outside with my dog and just happened to look up. I’ve seen meteors many times, but they have always been very high and were just a brief streak of light. This was much lower on the horizon, with a clear trail that appeared to be burning up behind it. It was bright and quick. |
