| Name | Mary Kay D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have watched the Leonid meteor shower and this was completely different. This seemed much closer, much much larger, with a thick bright white tail. It looked like an object burning not a white pinpoint of light. I was driving on the highway so I’m not sure of the height above the horizon. The full moon was at the top left of my driver side window and this was out the right side of my windshield. It was awesome!!!!!! |
