| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The exact angle and height are estimates from memory (within 40 min - 1 h of sighting). The brightness increase and disappearance were clear. I was already looking at the sky when it appeared. The fireball seemed to move from the direction of Stuttgart Vaihingen towards the hill Birkenkopf. |

| Remarks | "The head" of the fireball grew noticeably brighter near the end, forming an arrow-like shape. It still had a visible white/yellow tail behind it. As the head brightened suddenly, it disappeared instantly without any lingering trace. The disappearance was abrupt, not gradual |
