| Name | Sadie R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was my first time seeing anything like this! The contrast between the cool white center and the deep red/orange fiery halo was incredible. It reminded me of the stark colors in an axolotl. Thanks for reading my report! |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | As the trail of the fireball got longer and more scattered (like red “sparks” next to the tail), the front became extremely bright, like an isolated blue/white camera flash. It was so bright it lit up the surrounding area like a cool white firework and reflected light off of my door. It disappeared instantly after this flash. |
