| Name | Heather W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When it quite glowing it liked like it was right at the peak of my neighbors roof. Our houses are on a hill and there house it up the hill from mine, on the other side of their house it the top of the hill. The hill is taller than my neighbors house and rises above it. It truly appeared to be very close to the ground especially considering it seemed I could see it on my side of the hill. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | At first it was just falling extremely bright. Then all of a sudden I saw bright orange ot red fragments falling away from it towards the ground as the main part was glowing orange in the center surrounded by blue and then white. All of a sudden the already intense glow that almost hurt my eyes intensified even and the meteor "poofed" and went out. Or might have turned red just before going out but I am not sure but it did get incredibly bright. |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The fragments were breaking away fun the main body and falling almost straight down, they were flowing bright orange or red. They're were many pieces breaking off. Then all of a sudden the meteor intensified in brightness and a flash went off just before it went out. The flash i think was blue and white and I am pretty sure it saw red as well. |
