| Name | Mike M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Wife and I were enjoying a nice night in our spa, we had both seen another meteor (much less vivid) the evening before, also west of our viewpoint but further south. I saw the one on 9/14 but my wife missed it. Then the news today talked of a particularly vivid fireball occurring the same night and during the same period of time as the one I witnessed, I Googled it for more info and found this site, even though I am further west than other reported sightings I thought I would report my sighting. |
