| Observer | |

| Name | Joe S |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball was seen through overcast skies - only handful of stars were visible at the time (in semi-clear patches). We were hanging around this dark site waiting for clearing so we could observe, which happened around 11:30 pm EDT (approximately an hour after the fireball). The actual brightness, in a clear sky, probably would have been a couple of magnitudes greater! |
