| Name | Leo S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Nice suspected Taurid fireball. I only managed to see the end. Thankfully the camera caught it all. Start/end points of the event were estimated from footage and may not be 100% accurate. I have high confidence in the start point, but a bit less confidence in the end point of the trajectory as there were no stars to be found near by.
