| Name | Cathy A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was by far the brightest fireball/meteor I have ever seen. I was out with my dogs and not even looking at the night sky at the time; its brilliance caught my eye! It lasted longer than any others I have seen, though in my excitement, it was difficult to estimate how long. |
