| Name | Evelyn N |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Flight path was not straight linear the entire time, went slowly at first at about 30 degrees moving south to north in the western sky, then picked up speed as it angled more downward, then continually accelerated faster and faster in a more downward and straight angle until it disappeared at the horizon. Basically it was moving sort of slowly (comparatively speaking) until it straightened out in a more downward straight line at which time it accelerated very very fast. It was by far brighter and more colorful than any meteorite I have ever seen. It also seemed to flicker a bit once it was really going fast. |
