| Name | Christian M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This meteorite or shooting star was unlike anything I'd ever seen, it appeared as half the size of the moon from my vantage point and distance. It was bright orange and traveling quite fast, but not as fast as shooting star speed. I saw it on my commute home from Friday harbor airport and briefly thought in horror that it may have been an aircraft engulfed in flames. On second thought it may have been a large and bright meteorite near the water of, near to or West/Southwest/Northwest of Vancouver. |
