| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | William G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I found this website while I was looking for some “meteor report” online to maybe verify what I saw. It happened so fast, and with so much daylight that my mind kept trying to classify it as something else. But my eyes saw a yellow-orange fast streak, that quickly terminated in a yellow flashball. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Short fast downward/left streak, then a bright yellow flash ball... I was looking NW, and the ball flashed down and right. Happened so fast, that I thought is was a sun reflection on clouds, or that my eyes played an optical trick, or ball lightening. It was bright afternoon sun -just after a heavy rain. But, I thought it was significant enough to report Incase someone else may have as well. |
