| Name | Bruce A |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | When I first caught sight of the meteor, I thought it was a plane. I quickly saw that it wasn’t, and then I thought it was similar to the Russian meteor from the Spring. Clearly it wasn’t that big, but it is certainly the brightest meteor I have ever seen. |
