| Name | Dan L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was facing west. Fireball appeared 15~20° to my left, 40~45° above the horizon. It headed down to the right at ~45° and traversed 20~25° before it flared bright white and broke into 3 to 5 pieces. These pieces spread ~15° and traveled ~5° then faded. I can't say for sure what colors were displayed, maybe some yellow, but it was mostly white. |
