| Name | Alison J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was really cool! I've seen little fast streaky meteors before but never anything like this, a white ball moving across the sky trailing an orange tail that was throwing off sparks. It moved slowly enough that I had time to slow my car to watch it. |
