| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home at the time; it was the largest, brightest meteor-type object I've ever seen. It appeared to be very close to me, I suppose because of its size. I really thought that it would land near Warhill High School in James City County, VA, which was just 1/4 mile up the road from me and on my left. |
