| Name | Melanie Y |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Several people saw this with me; we were all astonished at the bright orange flame look of the thing, the sound (none of us had ever heard a meteor before) and the slowness of its passage. There was time for me to spot it and point, and time for them to turn around to see most of the arc. |
