| Name | Shaw C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was a very clear night and I often look up while I pop my dog out at night for his last toilet break before bed, I love astronomy and I have seen bright meteorites in the past but this is by far the brightest and longest I have ever seen and very much doubt I will see another this bright, I have a small collection of meteorites from reputable sellers, and I think I am due another now after seeing that one. |
