| Name | Sam P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My wife and I both saw this meteor while driving, so we were inside a car and could not observe any sound. This was the 2nd brightest meteor that I have seen in my life. The brightest ever was in 2010, when I lived in Iowa. I reported that one also. That one lit up the entire ground, like the sun was rising. This one did not do that. |
