| Observer | |

| Name | Terri P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The reason I knew it couldn't have been a shooting star was because it was so large and so vividly flaming. It was so large, it seems like it would have made a noise going through the sky. In comparison to the moon that was in the sky, the fireball seems like it was almost half the size of the moon from where it appeared to me. |
