| Name | Hink J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball appeared to be close to my vantage point, but the distance was hard to judge. I believe I only saw the 1-2 seconds of its total path, i was driving and the full path of its descent could have been obscured by trees, houses along the street, also i did not see any explosion or different colors, i only saw the light gold color. |
