| Name | Anthony G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was intensely bright and streaked downward to the Earth from the upper right to the lower left field of vision. I stepped out of my car to walk inside my parent's house, I looked up, and there it was above their house! My timing of arriving to my parent's house from work to see the fireball was so lucky. |
