| Name | Wendy S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | If I could guess, I feel the meteor was breaking up as it hit our atmosphere. It was a bright white blue fireball, that turned orange as it came down. I think it would have landed in the Pacific Ocean as we are about 20 minutes west of the ocean. It was pretty amazing to watch |
