| Name | Anthony C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was almost like a firework shooting up but angled down, it was breathtaking. It was pretty bright and pretty large. It was definitely at-least 2 seconds. Long enough for me to try and get someone else’s attention. The light blue was very pronounced around the whole path. The tail definitely lasted longer than the normal split second shooting star. I would like to know any other details you get on it! |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It maybe was not too pronounced but the object overall was pretty bright, like I knew it wasn’t a normal shooting start and questioned it something happened in the sky, Then I looked up shooting stats in Michigan and found you guys talking about fireballs and looked up and image and it looked exactly like that. I would say the initial flash was not to pronounced but overall it was bright |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It almost looks like that of a bottle rocket |
