| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Terri Z |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was walking outside when I thought someone was shining a flashlight on me. I turned around to see the bright white light moving downward with a brief orange tail after the white light disappeared. I was startled, having no idea what I had actually seen. I am glad to learn it was a meteor because, quite honestly, it scared me. |
