| Name | Andrew C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I did not hear a sound, but I was listening to music in my car and I was driving. I was at the top of a hill (not sure of the elevation), so the meteor appeared almost horizonatlly to my line of sight and it dipped under some buildings. I did not see the light extinguish because of this. There seemed to be some red\orange in the light as well |
