| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Wasn't actively watching for meteors just lucked into seeing this one on my way to my truck, mused the first second or two, it was bright enough to light up my truck and I saw the fireball reflecting off the windshield befor turning to observe the final 2-3 seconds as it faded to an orange ball towards the horizon. Wish I would have seen the whole event. :-) |
