| Name | Bradley H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It looked quite closer (or larger?) than normal shooting stars, but I have not seen many meteor showers to compare it to. The trail appeared to be on fire and was not just a color streak. It lasted about 2 seconds and faded out while still above the horizon. I did not have my windows open, so I am not certain of whether or not there was a sound. It looked pretty neat though. ;-) |
