| Name | Ernie L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My son who lives about 5 miles away, called me to report that he saw a bright meteor. It appears we saw the same object. I first thought it was fireworks, because it was bright and moving slower than other meteors I have seen and much larger. |
