| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was an amazing, unexpected sight. I was inside my house and it caught my attention out of my window. At first, I thought it was a low flying airplane. But I quickly realized it was not and ran outside. It was very fast and bright with a short tail. Unfortunately, I lost sight of it quickly behind a small mountain. I've never seen one so close to Earth. Very neat! |
