Reports Report 6221n (Event 6221-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cynthia C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home in my car, with the windows down and the radio fairly loud. There was also a car in front of me that I flagged down afterward to confirm what I'd seen & THEY HAD SEEN IT TOO! It was a young girl that was so struck by it's size & brightness too, that she had called her boyfriend (whom was still on the line) to tell him about her experience! She and I both agreed that it had been "The biggest, brightest falling star we'd EVER seen!". |
