| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ashley W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was up on a very high hill during the event, so that may throw off the angles a little bit. Also, I am not sure if I caught the beginning of it or not. Additionally, about 15 minutes later, I saw a small orange meteor in the same place, but on a different trajectory. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 5s |
| Length | 30° |
| Remarks | It left a glowing train in its wake that faded away quickly, but at the point of terminal flash it left a glowing white/blue cloud that lingered for several minutes brightly and then started dissipating while still glowing like a jet contrail. |
| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The meteor started bright, but then got brighter and then dimmed and then got brighter again before going out with a flare so bright it imprinted the negative image in my eyes for a few seconds. As the meteor got brighter along its path it started sparkling, and then a couple of sparks traveled along with it, leaving tiny trails. And at the big glad at the end, I couldn’t tell if it fragmented further because the flash was too bright. |
