| Name | Lynn B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen, I was mesmerized just standing there - it couldn't have been a meteor it was huge and so close. I am currently renting a room in a house in the woods. When lights are off you can't see anything but the sky, I was on my second floor balcony cuz I couldn't sleep so near top of house |

| Remarks | A long tapering trail that looked like it was glowing embers from a fire like it was incinerating toward the end of the tail as it traveled but tail remained same length. I thought at first it was a rocket on re-entry with the front white hot leaving a trail through the sky, it seemed so close I thought it would hit the field on the other side of the woods I was facing. |
