| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | K G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Just that it was bigger, brighter, appeared lower in the sky, and looked as though it exploded, which I have never seen before. Don't know the difference between fireball and falling star or if they are the same. I also am unfamiliar with 'fragmentation.' |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Yes - at first it looked like a typical falling star - but brighter and lower in the sky than others I have seen, but at the end it appeared to 'explode' brightly - a definite explosion-like event. I had my car radio on loudly but I doubt there was anything audible with this but I don't know. |
