| Name | Justine J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was the brightest and slowest meteor I’ve seen with my own eyes. During the 5 seconds or so it was visible, I was able to yell, “omg! Josh! look! Look!” To my fiancé, who turned around and was also able to see it, before it disappeared into the distance. |
