| Name | Duke D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Seen by 7 of us, with a long enough duration that we were able to call our kids downstairs and outside and they were still able to see at least 10-12 seconds of it before we lost it behind the trees. I witnessed some newsmaking fireballs in the past, and this was completely different. |
