| Name | Rob H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was a complete surprise as we were looking for the comet without binoculars, more to kill time so we could exit the parking garage without paying, than seriously trying to find Comet Panstarrs (which we had seen several days ago). We were on the top of a seven-story parking garage when my friend spotted the meteor. After 2-3 minutes of remarking how amazing this was, we had not heard any "shock wave" as happened after the recent Russian meteorite. |
