| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Phillip R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was by far the most significant fireball/shooting star event I have ever seen. It appeared to be very close, bright, and lasted for several seconds with two bright flame ups with long firey tails. A once in a lifetime event that I was truly fortunate to have observed. |
