| Name | Mindy R |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | I have a master's in astronomy. I heard several dogs barking just before the fireball appeared and was already looking out the window when I saw it. It was white for approximately the first 2/3 of the sighting, and shined green until it disappeared from my view, when it was obstructed by the building across the street. |
