| Name | Darcy M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Easily the most spectacular fireball I've seen. Large flaming head with a trail. A person on the backside of the house who didn't see it looked up because of the bright flash it made as it winked out. The fireball was moving in a south-westerly direction. |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | There was no trail after the object disappeared, at least that I could see. It had a bright and fairly large whitish-yellow head, with a broken trail behind it. Not sure if that would be considered fragmentation. Both disappeared at the same time. |
