| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cameron R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a few "shooting stars", or fireballs, however this was the largest and brightest I have ever seen and I have also not personally witnessed fragments breaking off afterwards. It felt incredibly close, hence why I was able to see a number of details of this fireball. |

| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | After the item burnt up in a bright white light, there appeared to be a selection of fragments that followed after the glow had stopped, in the direction it was heading in. These fragments were red, as if they were red hot. I could see multiple fragments, but the exact number I could not say. The items were red for a few moments before it all faded completely. |
