| Name | Alex V |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I would have reported it sooner but I just was going thru a tough time in my life I didn't even consider it . But it was so rare . Im pretty sure other people saw it .at the gas station and in Puyallup , Frederickson , and spanaway . It was amazing few seconds it lasted so quick but so unforgettable. I believe it did something to my brain seeing a light that bright and the experience is forever there . Like it seems like no one else has seen this before . But just like as exciting as a birth just I don't know how to explain the feeling . I can say this the fourth of July is nothing compared to this meteroir as far as brightness and the whole sky lighting up . I do love the fourth BUT 😲 WOW. SO IT WAS AROUND JUNE AND SEPTEMBER MONTHS BECAUSE IT WAS WARM OUT WHEN IT JUST GOT DARK . |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It's lit up the sky like a fireball then the brightest flash of yellow orange then when it fell towards the ground it was green in color . Almost seemed like the green was in the flash to . But definitely green burning with the bright yellow flash . |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The fragment was burning with a flash then green then it turned no flame or color as the black darkend object fell to the grass behind the fir trees by the train tracks it was around 9 or 10 pm just got or almost dark all the way but I could still see the comet in the dark after the fire burned out of it . It was that close . It would be equally to say that the comet after being burned out looks like a huge boulder that is thrown in the dark . It wasn't oit h black because I could still see the meteroir in the dark as soon as it gets closer to the ground it burns out . But looks like a big ass rock being dropped in the dark . |
