| Name | Dylan M |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I saw the meteor after another person exclaimed that there was a bright meteor in the sky, and saw an extremely luminous light point fall nearly vertically, giving the appearance of a falling flare or firework. In the last second it was visible close to the horizon, it left a very brief trail of smoke then slight fragmentation before dimming. |
