| Name | Julee M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were out for our nightly late evening walk and we saw this unbelievable fireball shoot up into the sky. It was quick and very bright, long and wide. It seemed either really large or closer than normal. It was extremely sparkly on the outer edges of the tail, like an actual sparkler. It seemed to shoot almost straight up into the air. I have seen many meteor showers but this was different. Definitely a once in a lifetime sighting. |
