| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Previously reported as #216775, but the time was wrong - so disregard that report. Horseshoe Bay, Texas. About ~6:05 PM Monday night, while trying to photograph Jupiter and Saturn, the camera would not cooperate. I had to shift into menu to adjust the settings. Of course, at that very moment a large tail-less glowing meteor appears in the east, flew slowly across a long arc of sky, and then directly under Jupiter and Saturn. It glided along for eight to ten seconds. They whole time I was fumbling to get the camera back into picture mode - to get it on film; ...alas - nothing doing. Somebody else MUST have seen that one.https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3653425448057814&set=a.456886364378421 |
