Name | J. W |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | Being in the city limits with buildings, trees, and light pollution, I was really lucky to see it. It seemed to be a long way away, so it was probably even better than it appeared for me. Even so, it was the best and largest I\'ve seen in my 46 years! It went out of view before going out, so I don\'t know if it hit somewhere or not. My opinion would be that it had a very good chance of hitting somewhere north of Starkville, but probably tens of miles away. |
