| Name | Rebecca L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was at a high school football game so it was very bright because of the stadium lights. The form I filled out was hard to use to describe what I saw. it was very bright, with a long trail that entered my vision from the left and shot across the sky above the stadium, or so it appeared. Many saw it. My experience with shooting stars is they are far away and small, this seemed larger and much closer. It seemed so low-almost like it was in the stadium. |
