Experience Level

Remarks
The meteor sound was not that loud and we ( my husband and I ) saw what seemed to be the tail end of the meteor fragmentation. It happened rapidly , near a bus shelter and was breathtakingly beautiful....We still can't believe we witnessed it. Please do keep me informed. Thank you.
