| Name | Lee H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The object passed from left to right (south to north) in my field of view. Clear sky, but there was a very faint, long, narrow, wispy cloud (almost like a contrail) going west to east that was visible before, during, and after the fireball. I have observed meteors/shooting stars before, but I have never seen one that appeared to be on fire or fragmenting. |
