| Name | Nichole N |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was very bright and I really feel it landed in the hilltops somewhere close to where I was. It was amazing. I was all by myself at 3 in the morning at the bottom of Orchard Manor getting ready to cross the road when a huge pinkish red light caught the corner of my eye and it crossed the sky right in front of me almost eye level and a piece sparked off of it, (which made it even more amazing to see) as it faded into the mountains. I checked to see if any metoer showers were supposed to happen that night and there was, The Persieds. |
