| Name | H B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We saw typical shooting stars prior in the same direction, before observing the distinctively larger ‘fireball’ (bluish, wider, a touch slower than a shooting star) that seemed to be falling toward earth or the horizon rather than a quick skinnier flash across the sky. |
