| Name | Lois w |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor appeared as a white sphere of light, descending from the west towards the north. It arced down and disappeared behind the moutain. It was the biggest meteor I`ve ever seen. If you would consider the full moon on a scale the size of a 25 cent piece, the meteor appeared to be in between a nickel and a dime. Very bright, steady light, almost like a big searchlight in the sky. |
