| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen countless meteors and always find them cool to watch, but this one literally damn near made me go hoarse from yelling in disbelief of how bright it was. The other thing different was that I usually always see them burn out or disappear from sight, but this one was still getting bigger as it went over the horizon. Was honestly waiting for a loud noise or the ground to shake...lol! |
