| Name | Jay B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was absolutely amazing! I was taking my dog outside when I saw it. It came from the east to west. I was so shocked I was thinking maybe it was a missile or something until it dissipated just before I would've lost sight of it from the tree tops. I can't say enough about how big, long, bright and simply amazing that experience was! I came inside, told my Son about it and started searching the net for information to see if there were suppose to be more that (last) night. To my surprise I couldn't find anything about meteors, shooting stars or fireballs happening last (that) night. If y'all have any information about what I saw or if someone out there happened to get a video of it PLEASE let me know! |
