| Name | Brian F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I do not think I caught the beginning of the meteor, I was looking at my phone when I saw a bright light and looked up. Also, I was sitting in my truck, the beginning of it might have started above where I could see it looking through my windshield. It looked to be traveling fairly slow for a meteor, judging by the speed of meteor showers. It also looked fairly large, but I can't say for sure. It looked like it had a tail about 4 times the length of the fireball itself. |
