| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was the biggest and brightest I ever saw. It seemed really low in the sky and it was the light sound that made me look. I never hear planes hear, and there is little to no light pollution . It disappeared behind a hill and trees, still bright. I expected to hear or see light as it impacted, but did not. |
