| Name | Diane H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving in our vehicle on West Parks Rd in St. Johns, Michigan and happened to look left (south) when I saw the bright meteor/fireball go from East to West. Lasted approximately 1-8 seconds. Did not observe any sound due to windows of vehicle closed. It was an awesome sight, first one in my life. |
