| Name | Sarah D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor was green, and so bright I caught it out of the corner of my eye. Saturn and Jupiter were visible at the time. The meteor traveled north of the planets, quickly, toward the ground. Right as I jumped out of my chair and yelled to my husband the meteor exploded. I really thought it was going to hit the ground! I’m a little shaken up! |
