| Name | Erin M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I reported seeing a fireball one other time, several years back...very cool thing to see! This one seemed larger, more pronounced, thicker more defined tail like a comma punctuation mark, and this one also appeared lower in the sky ~ had a much better view of it, and it occurred nearly directly in front of me ~ I turned my head to my left (facing it) to watch it fly by quickly |
