| Name | Ryan H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Once the meteor passed, the tail seemed to disintergrate into a shower of particles. Also, at 0230 on 12/14/2012, I observed a bolide at the same location but facing the opposite direction. I felt this was worth noting due to the supposed rarity of both of these events. |
