| Name | David A |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I had just finished setting up my telescope and was looking out at the sky when I saw the fireball go accross the sky, it was bright orange and lasted what seemed long, versus quick flashes of the usual white meteorites I have seen in the past. I have observed fireballs in the past too. |
