| Name | Jason C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving south on Butler Rd when the fireball appeared through my windshield. Judging from the other meteors I have seen, this was a very large rock that flew from my right to my left. There was no place to pull over and if I had, it would've been over nonetheless. I would love to know if anyone else had seen it. Posted to spiral media but no response so far. Thanks. |
