| Name | Jacob Y |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Large brightening that went well above fullness of the moon but it was blocked by a building, when it came out from behind the building it was green with a trail before fragmenting. Hence my estimates are going to be under what the actual length of the trail, the brightness and starting angle from which I saw. |
