| Name | Jeff W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The time is approximate; I was doing astrophotography and did not think to note time. But, I estimate it based upon time of my pix. The object grew brighter as it descended from a normal bright meteor to something 2-3 times brighter than Venus before fading from peak to nothing over the course of 1/5 to 1/2 second. It was a fairly slow meteor. There was no explosive end, just a rapid fade. It appeared east of SGR, near the AQL - CAP border and headed straight to horizon. |
