| Observer | |

| Name | Patricia I |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball had a tail that shot long orange sparks. The tail "went out" first, then the fireball itself, which was a compact brilliant white ball, flickered once, and then its light also went out. I could still see the rock itself as a small light grey mass for a second or two after the light went out. |
