| Name | Jason D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My girlfriend and I were outside and I noticed a light through the trees heading towards us. I thought it was an airplane at first, so I didn't really think much of it. Once it came into full view, I immediately stood up in awe to what I was witnessing. It flew almost right over us at such a slow speed (for a meteor that is) that we could see everything. It stayed visible until it was miles past where we were. |
