| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Katherine B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was hard to tell the angle, as it almost went straight down behind the tree-line and moved quickly as I was driving west on i-90. Very bright and beautiful to witness! I have seen meteorites in the past but have never seen anything with this color, size, and brightness before that night. |
