| Name | Tyler L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Going north, maybe a little northeast. I've seen the "typical" shooting stars before (high up and white in color), the make a wish when you see it kind. This was much brighter, red, flashing, had a line behind it, and was much lower than one I've ever seen. Happened around 2:40am. Could have been a couple minutes before or after, I didn't check my phone when it happened, it was inside. I reported this after googling what I saw when I got inside. Total time was about 1-2 seconds. |

| Remarks | I think so? I was taking the dog out and suddenly saw a bright red flash with like a "tail" behind it over the neighboring building. Never saw anything like it. Very bright and it all happened very fast. Maybe a total time of 1-2 seconds from beginning to end. |
