| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Was in the car driving west on Broadway discussing my husbands late father who’s last name is Shihabi which means meteor in Arabic, when we then looked up at saw the meteor go from right to left downward. It was white by the time I saw it and seemed so low as if it would have kept traveling and I would have kept traveling it would have hit my car. Just absolutely amazing. |
