| Name | Sharon M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was driving 75mph heading N on Rt 81 I think near Staunton VA, and for some reason (poor visibility?) leaned forward and saw the shooting star out the upper right of windshield, moving S, parallel to the horizon. Reminded me of a Perseid meteor I've seen in August. |
