| Name | Matt W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I am a huge weather and astronomy buff. I have a very wide open viewing location. The behavior of the fireball was identical to the best shooting stars I have seen, except about 20 times larger, and brighter. It is the closest meteor passage I have ever witnessed! |
