| Name | Laura |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was so bright and so big that I didn't know what to think at first. I've seen many shooting stars having lived in Tucson, but this was something beyond anything I've ever seen. It was visible for a long time. It seemed to have a tail while it was falling, not after the flash. |
