| Name | Winston F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving and observed the meteorite flash. I thought it was a plane going down for a split second, but I moved far too fast. I quickly realized what it was. It trailed across the sky, tumbled and fragmented, and the flash stopped. It was incredible! |
