| Name | Christine C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was headed east at the time on the PA turnpike. I look for Orions belt every night while driving tractor trailer. I've seen plenty of meteors but never one as spectacular as this one. The blue was a wide band with a round tip and brite with other colors falling off the tail. I felt very privileged to see that. |
