| Name | Theresa M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | My memory is a little hazy as to the direction and angle and elevation exactly. I was confused as to what it was, as it was more like a flare than a shooting star, so I’ve been googling since, and as it was after the night of a know Meteor shower, it must be connected. I noticed it fall in an gentle arch behind the hill towards putsborough. It wasn’t a flare as I know what these look like. It was silent and more like a fireball than the shooting stars I've seen before that have a trail and seem to break up and are much smaller. |
