| Name | Debbie S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I felt sure that it was landing nearby and almost got in my car to see whether I could find it. I was rather surprised that I did not hear emergency responder sirens. It seemed to streak into the atmosphere and looked as though it was a streak/fall. I put it on my FB right after it happened, but heard nothing in the news until this morning about last night's sightings. Nothing about the previous night, though. Most of the descriptions of last night's sighting fit what I saw, so I felt validation enough to report what I saw. I am so glad that I happened to be outside when it happened, because it was beautiful, if brief! I've seen lots of "shooting/falling stars", but never anything like this. |
