| Name | Ariana R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | after the fireball went out I could distinctly see a glowing ember following the same trajectory that was a deep orang red, more like the majority of meteors. And it was still quite large. I followed it until it fell out of view behind trees. Since the incident it appears that I was at one of places furthest north which saw the fireball, at the time I thought it was extremely close. Leading me to the impression that it had to be very large for me to be able to see the glowing meteor after the major fireball had burnt out. |

| Remarks | from when I first caught a glimpse of it until it ended it was so bright Im not sure if it could have gotten much brighter at the end.
