| Name | Debbie L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The most incredible thing I have ever seen, I fully expected it to hit the earth. it was right before my eyes. I am trying to burn the sighting into my mind, I never want to forget it. Not very scientific but my life is changed by this. I feel incredibly lucky and like I want to pursue seeing another one. I am 58 years old and if this is the most amazing thing I ever experience in my life then I am okay with that. The only thing I regret was if I hadn't been looking to the right I may have been able to see it for a second longer. I described it terribly on your site but it seemed to cross right in front of me, traveling right over the ground. |
