| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was at a drive in and saw a huge flash of light in the sky. Then I saw a tail of light behind it and then all of a sudden it was gone. It was all in front of me, just above the horizon (a line of trees). It was very strange because I was actually watching ET, but I swear it was real! I have never seen a shooting star that huge and that bright. It was absolutely humongous. I was in such shock I just kept yelling and and pointing and couldn’t even explain to my boyfriend what I was seeing. It was such a magical moment. Please let me know if anyone else saw it. I didn’t want to bother anyone in the yard to ask if they saw it, but I know I can’t be the only one. |
