| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Most amazing thing I have ever seen in the sky. The light was so bright it was as if a Scout had taken his 10 LED flashlight and pointed it into our tent (which had its fly off). Thiw=s was what i first thought as I looked up. As I looked up I saw the end of the meteors run. Several other boys also with fly off tent also saw it, and heard the sound afterward. |

| Remarks | Although it seems long, a couple minutes after the flare out there was a long, continuous, powerful thunder sounds that lasted about 2-3 seconds and was unlike any sound we heard on our canoe trip. There were no clouds or rain anywhere in the vicinity that night that could have caused thunder, and it was also not artillery due to the length of the sound. Direction was hard to get due to reverb off canyon walls. |
