| Name | Les D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed like it was coming straight down, it seemed as though it fell to earth within a half mile from where I saw it. I was driving slowly, 10 mph, and I just happened to be looking in the exact direction of its occurrence. It was amazing! |
