| Name | James and Julie S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Wife and I were talking on back porch, saw brief ball at high speed transition from blue to white leaving a stardust like trail, haeding straight towards southeast around 21:35. It shot from our field of view behind the trees in the horizon and popped snapped after briefly intensifying in brightness. My wife's view was able to see a final white dot fading to nothing after the snap popping. |
