| Name | marc m |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed to me to be too big, low, slow for a meteor I have seen high in the atmosphere. Depending on the actual vs perceived size it could have been less than 20k feet, its trajectory was mostly flat but appeared to be descending. I am not sure of the exact time as I did not write it down. |
