| Name | John O |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | In years of observing the night sky as a non-professional astronomer (but a scientist nonetheless) this meteor was possibly the longest duration, and the only one I can remember that I would expect meteorites to be found from. I almost started driving to where I thought the impact might be, but thought it was probably too Far East. |
