| Name | Caroline C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was in the dark woods when suddenly everything was completely illuminated with a white flash for a few seconds, and I looked due north in time to see it going from east to west for several seconds before it broke into several fragments, and appeared to burn out....very spectacular and a wonderful lifetime experience. |
