| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the brightest fireball event I have ever witnessed in my life. It was so bright we thought it might be falling satellite debris burning up in the atmosphere at first. Later we realized we were in the Leonids event. This event was viewed while traveling by car West on Highway 51 toward Mannford, OK. |
