| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When I saw this meteor I was sitting on the roof of my two story house. I had a spectacular view, it could not have been better. It was within 30 miles. It was a clear night. I took note of everything I saw afterward. I had not seen any reports about it, and I knew this needed to be documented. |
