| Observer | |

| Name | Aaron B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was an impressive event that was easy to see on a busy street with lots of cars, lights, street lights, and distractions. The light was an intense bright white with possibly a blue tinge at the edge. It seemed to take it's time falling compared to other super fast meteors I've seen. It would completely go out then start burning again and go out again as it fell. |
