| Name | Jeremy |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The individual objects, especially at the the time and after breakup was the brightest I have ever observed. Too bad. Valley I viewed if from only likely had less than 25 people in it at that time of night, I just happened to be traveling in the direction of entry, so I saw it clearly pretty much right from the top of my windshield, to where it disappeared. At that point, my view may have been obscured by terrain, but being night, I\'m not sure... |
