| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Spotting this meteor was an amazing and astonishing privelege!!!! My son and I gasped an surprise and delight as the brief but spectacular fireball streaked across the sky! The appearance was so sudden and brief that my daughter, who was driving, missed it entirely!!! My son and I babbled excitedly while my poor daughter missed the entire brief encounter! I am very interested to see if other nighttime observers spotted this fireball. Perhaps a photo or two...? |
