| Name | April H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was the brightest and biggest meteor I have ever seen. It was the most elegant green ball arcing across the sky before it suddenly turned to a bright gold as it broke apart and disappeared. From where I live, it appeared to have been going over the southern end of Rutherford Co TN, headed East, and ended near Hwy. 231S. |
