| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was about twice the size and brightness of Venus. There was no apparent fragmentation or differentiation of light output. I first saw it as I was driving slightly uphill, so I did not see if it started above about 45 degrees. I lost sight of it only when it fell behind the distant tree line, at least 3 solid seconds. I was surprised at how bright it was considering the sky had already started to lighten. It fell at an almost imperceptible angle. |
