| Name | Neal C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We had an excellent view of this short-lived meteor, until it went behind some buildings on the opposite side of the street (Union Street). I'd love to hear corroboration of our sighting, plus find out if the meteor was recorded as hitting the Earth. It was a bright, fairly large fireball. Thank you. |
