| Name | Geff G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Two of us were in the car, driving due North on a straight dark road in dark sky territory and clearly saw a bright green fireball coming from high and from the right (East) as a streak and down to the horizon and slightly to the Left (West) as it gained intensity. We both had time to see it, say something and point to it before it vanished. Realistically about two full seconds. |
