| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Heading West on Rt 58 on September 21st at 8:30 PM in Lowell Vermont My wife, daughter in the back seat , and I saw the largest fireball we had ever seen in our lives. It was falling down in a South westerly direction toward Burlington Vermont. It it appeared to be very bright and extremely large. This was not your run of the mill shooting star ! By the size it seemed that it possibly could have hit the ground \"somewhere\" as we did not see it break up in fragments ? A very impressive sighting in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont ! |
