| Name | Glenn A |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The trajectory was steep no more than 30 degrees from perpendicular to the ground. Very Low when it caught my eye, I was talking to someone and facing directly towards it. It only appeared under 30 degreed from the horizon. It was even with the top of a streetlight that was 100 feet from me. Width observed was about 2 finger width at arms length. I lost light of it behind trees. I could only see it for about 2-2.5 seconds befor it went behind trees. |

| Remarks | increasing Brightness, Instead of a flash, it shimmered or flickered extremely fast as it quickly widened becoming multiple (at least 4 separate) heads. It was the widest field of a meteor breakup I have ever seen reminiscent of Shuttle Columbia's Breakup shown on tv. Initially glowing bluish-green quickly expanded to include yellow and multiple hues of light green. |
