Name | Claudia T |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | It seemed so close and low to the ground, when I was little I watch the meteor showers in August, but this was different much brighter and it seemed much closer. It must have been for less than a second. It was going down in a straight line in my vision, and as it got lower it turned orange and one piece broke off. It was cool and startling. |
