| Name | Gary W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor seemed very much like a plane at first. Then, my mom and I noticed it dropping very quickly and flashing. That's when we realized what we were looking at. It was either a meteor or a plane going down. However, there have been no reports of any planes going down in the area. |
