| Name | Mel M |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was a very unusual experience. It was quite light evening sunshine, and this meteor/junk/whatever absolutely streaked across the sky. It went through my entire field of vision, and then it blew a red tail at the end. I've also heard from friends that they saw it in WA. state. Also from a reputable weather board I belong to, and now it's been making the news here locally, asking for vids. if anyone has them. It was quite amazing. |
