|---|---|
| Name | Loren W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen a meteor moving this slow or this level with the horizon-- for the first several seconds my friend and I honestly thought it was an airplane on fire. This also gave it the appearance that it was only 2-3 miles away, but I know distance is difficult to estimate. |
