| Name | Patricia D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Remarkable that I saw my first one last year in April/May 23? Then a year later this one, after never seeing any. It was also remarkable how it woke me up (as it did my boyfriend in Littleton NH at the same time--we compared sightings) |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I did not see a terminal flash but it was a flash (or sound, I don't know) that woke me from a deep sleep. I looked out the window and it was bright white (I thought snow) turned my head, checked the other window and saw the fireball. This is the second one I have seen, last one was last year in Danbury at 1710 and started with a small dull one that died quickly and followed by a much brighter larger one. |
