| Name | Jeremy P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home from work so I was very aware of where I was, the time, and the direction I observed this fireball. I have seen shooting stars before but this was definitely different. It was brighter, green in color, with a trail following behind. the direction it was traveling made it appear as though something was falling straight down from the sky. And, since I was traveling east into the dark it made it very visible. |
