| Name | Kevin M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was fishing at the end of the day, it was exceptionally clear. I thought it was someone shooting off fireworks, but only one stream appeared and I saw this morning a meteorologist say some people reported it and then I realized it probably was a meteorite. It was very cool, occurred over the ocean I guess, Isle of Palms and Deweese Island were in the direction I was facing, but I now realize it was farther out. |
