| Name | Austin A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I'm in a North window facing apartment in downtown chicago, but grew up in the Iowa country side, and this was the brightest meteor I've ever seen. It literally lit the sky up. Again, it seemed blue/green at the center, and lit the sky white with a white trail, the trailing following it straight North. |
