| Observer | |

| Name | Alan H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was by far the brightest and longest duration object I have ever seen and have casually observed meteor showers for 40+ years. Maybe it was just Space Junk but, even so, I feel lucky to have seen it. I was outside looking for Quadantid meteor shower at the time but not sure this was from correct place in sky. |
