| Name | Evan B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Amazing! My finance and I were driving past the Pentagon in Arlington when we saw a slow moving green dot heading toward the horizon. Considering our location, we were immediately concerned it was something military or terrorist in nature. It descended all the way to the horizon, possible impacting at Ft Meyer or Arlington Cemetery, but we didn't hear or see the impact. We both saw it clearly, and couldn't believe what we just saw. It must have been a meteor; I can't imagine what else it could have been! |
