| Name | John S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It looked like a plane on fire. I live adjacent to and west of DCA airport. I expected to hear a crash in the direction of or near to Rosslyn, VA. It looked very close to me. Much closer than other white, high and small meteorites I have seen. There was no sound, only a long brilliant flaming tail of various light and brilliant colors. |
