| Name | Jay K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball looked as big as a helicopter if it were flying no more than 5 miles away from me. I was very much expecting to see it land and I was almost expecting windows to be shattered when it did - however it must have instead been quite large and quite far away. The sky lit up electric green for around 5+ seconds, even though visibility was very poor. By far the most impressive sighting I've ever witnessed, I am gutted I couldn't film it before it disappeared behind houses |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It had a bright green "head", with bright orange/yellow fragmentation - very similar to embers from a flame - wisping out from the "tail" in random directions. The fragments only burned for a matter of seconds, but were constantly being emitted from behind the fireball as it shot across the sky. |
