| Name | Marvin F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was spectacular for my wife and I. We were looking at a bright light, which appeared to be near Barrieville and the meteor fell directly in front of us, with a significant tail, fragmented, then disappeared. I’ve seen 100s of meteors and this was #1 or 2 for brightness, fragmentation, and just plain excitement. |
