| Name | Beth D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | While the event was quick, the object seemed to move slower than most shooting stars I have observed. But it was large, and burning quick and then vanished completely in the lower horizon. It was as if something fell out of the sky and burned out. |
