| Observer | |

| Name | Laurie C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in a parking lot of a day camp, so I am not quite sure exact location or orientation on your maps, nor exact time, but it was likely between 21:50 and 22:00. I was facing towards Cassiopeia and the fireball was to the west of that constellation traveling horizontally but slightly downward, just over tree level (it is a wooded area) and witnessed by several people who were standing together. It was large and very bright. |
