| Name | Gene P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Very cool. Have never witnessed one that big. Burned an easy 10 to 12 seconds. Long enough to see it, get others attention and then everyone watch it burn brighter before going out. Seemed at first toward us, bUT my estimate would be that it landed in the Atlantic South of Jacksonville, Fl. |
