| Name | Julia M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | i have seen spectacular astronomical anomalies before like shooting stars and other showers like this but what I saw saw today was a huge experience almost emotional for me because the more than 6 fireballs looked so close they might crash right onto my husband and I. My husband and I even flagged down the neighborhood security driving past asking him if he could see what we were and then all three of us starred up since it was so clear for almost a minute. |
