| Name | Bryant H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | As noted before, I was watching the SpaceX launch ascent which was visible to the east at the time when I saw the flash of the Meteor. I caught the event out of the corner of my left eye. My view of the SpaceX vehicle was at a 90 degree angle (horizontally) from where the Meteor flash occurred. Other residents in the area also saw both events. |
