| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was the coolest "shooting star" i have ever seen!! My son said, "look at that shooting star!" and we couldn't believe we all had enough time to look up and still have time to see the biggest, brightest shooting star we've ever seen for about two - three seconds! As it was crossing to our left, we could see it had a red tail, like fire!! So cool!!! |
