| Name | Kenneth D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was the most amazing experience I have ever had in my 51 years of life, as far as seeing anything this spectacular and soul moving to the point of astonishment and utter gratitude for being allowed to see such an incredible sight! I think about it every few hours since yesterday morning and don't know what to do with this information / memory, so I thought I would look on the internet to see if others may have seen it too. There is a video of it, but it doesn't do justice to how bright and beautifully the colors were along with the size and magnitude of glory! |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It appeared to break up as though it disintegrated into smaller fragments over a span of a approximate one mile with a incredible bright green and white color. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It looked similar to an explosion of a common fireworks display, yet uniquely smaller and lasted for less than a second with no sound. I was positioned in such close proximity that I thought it (fragments) would of fallen on the ground approximately one mile away to the right of my field of view. It appeared that close to me, as though it was only a mile a way. I was facing south east i believe, directly towards Vineyard Ave. Oxnard, CA. |
