| Name | Teresa D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was the largest meteor I personally saw before. But since I was driving I wasn't able to get any pics or videos. I was hoping someone else caught it! It looked from my view, that it was heading straight down, lost half its size halfway down, then continued onto the smaller size as it went behind a line of trees. |
