| Name | Beth B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was unusual, I am used to seeing meteors late at night and not this early in the evening or low in the sky, I usually see it them higher in the sky and this time it was much lower, we were traveling in a car and our direction was from west to east and the meteor came from the northeast and disappeared into the southeast horizon right in front of us, looked like it landed in the trees, so it traveled from left to right from my vision, but must have been over the ocean, hard to tell, we were so excited we named it "love" as my friend had mentioned that word when we it appeared! I am not sure if I handled the technology or properly showed our location. |
