| Observer | |

| Name | Noah J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It moved suddenly and quickly, the main part that shocked me was that it lit up the whole sky. A perfectly clear night away from the city at 3AM, it was pitch black out, but the fireball lit up the entire sky. Primarily blue (which was the color it lit up the sky), with red/orange flickers in the tail. It was also large, I’ve observed meteor showers before, and this was a completely different type of thing. Huge, bright, and fast. |
