| Observer | |

| Name | Neil M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Saw one a couple of years ago (again while fishing) at around the same time of the year, but this one was significantly brighter. Time given was approximate as didn't know I would be reporting it. Went across the sky much slower than the meteor showers in Jul/Aug, and significantly larger. |

| Remarks | I was fishing, watching a float in the dark. There seemed to be a burst of light that instinctively made me look up, enhanced by darkness and reflection in still water. This object was falling from the sky and a couple of pieces, still burning, seemed to fall from the tail, and then went out. |
