| Name | Nicole R |
| Experience Level | 5/5 |
| Remarks | It was an amazing once in a lifetime experience I had while driving on the highway, while my kids were asleep. I wasn’t expecting to see it, and I’m always stargazing, so I was thrilled to look up and see a beautiful meteor right before my eyes! It’s unfortunate I don’t have a dash cam, because what I saw was absolutely breathtaking! |
