| Name | Renee and Christopher B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My husband and I were driving and talking going through a timbered stretch of the hwy so view was limited, it just all of a sudden was there! It looked big and headed downward fast! I thought for sure it went into the ocean but we couldn't see because of the trees. It was defintely a fireball with a tail trailing, we think it was a meteor. |
