| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen a bolide once before and that one didn't have an orange flash midway thru like this one. Thus was stunning and the tail long. I had just enough time to yell to my husband, "Look look, bolide bolide!!" And then it disappeared behind our huge Doug firs. |
