| Name | Claudia E |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was the biggest brightest thing I’ve ever seen in my life I seriously thought it was going to hit the earth. I’ve seen my share of ‘shooting stats’ but this one was one for the books and looked as if it was coming straight down towards earth. I’m not sure I answered all the directional questions right but I did my best. I was walking my dog and turned down a street I never had before, it’s a dead end and I had no reason to go that way I just wanted to see what that part of the neighborhood looked liked, it was almost meant to be I guess, mind blown!!! |
