| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was an amazing display. I was driving at the time and there were very bad road conditions, so I was not able to stop and watch as long as I would have liked, however, the seconds I had made me glad I was the only one on that stretch of road as I stretched to view it as long as possible. The meteor did glow very bright and made me think that it was some sort of plane, but then the light grew bigger than that of a plane and its trajectory was not similar to that of a plane. I could not hear anything since I was in my car at the time. |
