| Observer | |

| Name | Terri B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I specifically went on a hike recently to observe the mid-August meteor shower and saw quite a few beautiful "shooting stars", including my first "fireball". This was very similar except in color. The one I saw in Aug was red/orange/yellow in color, where this was a definite blue/green. |
