| Name | Biff D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was traveling in a car southbound on the I-65 interstate when I saw the meteor. I can't be very precise about my location due to that, but do know that it was close to the spot I designated. Because of the winding nature of the interstate, I'm guessing as to my viewing angles. The meteor appeared in my front windscreen, just to the left of the center of my vision. |
