| Name | Judy T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The brightest "meteor" or "falling star" I have ever seen in my life. It also appeared larger than anything I have ever seen before. Started out in a bright white trail, flashed blue, then orange, and the white "halo" of light flashed larger at the end of the trajectory, then went dark just above the horizon. My husband was with me and observed it also. |
