| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen a meteor live! My first!! 2 of us saw it while we sat in the back garden. It was stunning, it seemed big compared to any footage I've seen, it had a fiery tail, intensifying for a few seconds, I guess where it entered more of our atmosphere. It almost looked like a cartoon because the colours were so vivid, especially the tail. I wasn't sure what I'd seen at first, but I'm guessing it was a meteor entering the atmosphere, and (hopefully) leaving our atmosphere! I hope many others saw it too!! ☄️ |
