| Name | Michael B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen meteor streaks in the US (southwest, midwest, north central), Asia, over the Pacific ocean, and remote parts of west and north Africa. But never anything as bright and as large as this one! From my view it appeared to be a ball about 8 millimeters. |
