| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen shooting stars, but this was absolutely crazy!!! It was huge! At first I though it was a plane crashing but noticed the green and white, it looked like it was landing 20-30 miles from where I was driving and it disappeared behind the mountain. Nuts!!! |
