| Name | Helene B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I knew what it was when I saw it, but have never seen it so clearly or close or large before. Other meteor sightings - very few! I look but usually see nothing, but this was bright clear and spectacular. Over quickly but I was on straight bit of road going slightly upwards so had great view. |

| Remarks | Fizzled like the science experiment at school - magnesium? Saw bright light steak slowly across my front screen window. I was driving. It seemed to get slower closer larger. Then seemed to explode with flash into smaller "stars" like firework. Hard to explain. |
