| Observer | |

| Name | Glory B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Fairly light polluted area as mentioned earlier- Cannot remember exact color of flash aside from white brightness with some warm kind of color rather than a green or blue cool color. Was not lightning, and did not appear to be plane lights with how it lit up, stayed lit/streaked, then flashed out. I hope this is helpful- found site while trying to look up what I had just saw. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Did not see fragmentation, but I also did not have my glasses on (couldn't sleep at night.) Noticed bright streak in sky, watched it for a moment before it 'flashed out' brightly. Did not hear any boom nor anything like debris falling. Noting that local area is fairly light polluted, which is why I went to report it- haven't seen any shooting stars out here prior to this very bright one. |
