| Name | Jennifer C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball was low to the ground and very bright. It was pretty big, bigger than a normal meteor we have seen in the sky... and it looked like it was going to hit the ground bu we went behind a foothill, so we lost sight. It was amazing an unlike any other meteor shower or falling star we have ever seen before. |
