| Name | Hannah B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving and coming down a slight hill when I first saw it. It immediately caught my attention, it was larger and brighter than shooting stars I’ve seen before and it seemed so close. I noticed it started to look like a flash or explosion and then it seemed to disappear, but I was passing a tree line to my right that obscured my line of sight so I can’t say for certain. |
