| Name | Jamie F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The sky was still relatively light. I was driving home. The meteor was very brief. It was so close to the ground, I first assumed it was a firework. But when I got out of the car just a minute later, there were no sounds at all. It was incredibly close. I thought it was going to hit the trees, it was just above them. |
