| Name | Lisa S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I saw another meteor about 20 minutes later (10:55 p.m. on 10/4) as I was driving west on Rt 30 approaching Columbia, PA directly ahead of me to the west. This was further away, not as bright, and clearly a meteor, not what I'd call a fire ball. |
