| Name | Mary S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was like nothing I've ever seen when watching for shooting stars/meteor showers, it was moving slow enough for me to put down my kindle, tell my guests to look up, and still had about 5 seconds of it in our vision before it looked like it fell to the earth over the horizon, it was the most brilliant green and red in color, saying it was massive in size would be an understatement, for I was not even looking up when it caught my view, it appeared in the sky much lower than an airplane would fly, we all thought maybe it was some time of aircraft that exploded and was crashing to the earth, but we knew that was not the case |
