| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was outside with the dog waiting for him to do some business. It was the most remarkable thing I've ever seen. I could not believe it and was a bit scared initially at what it might be, if it could be a meteor, and if it might hit ground nearby. It looked to be so close; as in right over my street, in my neighborhood. It was so bright and was moving so fast I thought it could not be anything but a meteor. I ran in and told my son. It was about 8:00pm. I didn't know I should report it until I saw the web this morning with this site, but I did post it on facebook last night and text it to my husband, who was in flight from CA to NY. I only wish I had my cell with me for a picture, but I didn't. |
