| Name | Stacey M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was traveling relatively slowly to be a meteor. Also, the travel from the west to the east was parallel with earth and was very low in the sky. As the fiery object continued to the east, I was viewing it looking to the north, it dropped below the silhouette of the hills in my view. It is also strange to note that the object did not have a tail at first.. perhaps I saw it just as it was entering the atmosphere and then started a long, slow burn. |
