| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Brad L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Grew up watching meteor showers and looking at the stars in Boy Scouts and have always found the universe a very interesting place. No telescope, just the naked eye. Even mentioned it in the poetry I wrote right after the event - “as green gas trailed across the sky as if on cosmic cue” |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Was star gazing using a new app on my phone and as if by some cosmic cue, a meteor streamed overhead, saw green, then a flash and then a few trails of debris and then nothing. No sound, just light. Too fast to capture it. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | A few small pieces I’m assuming broke off right after the sudden blast and seemed to burn then extinguish quickly. |
