| Name | Catherine D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My spouse and I were walking our dogs. Even though I described where we "first" saw the meteor on your form, we didn't actually see the origin of the meteor. What made us look up was the brightness of the landscape. We were walking in the dark, flashlights off, and suddenly the empty fields lit up as brightly as if there were a full moon. We looked up then (in the direction I described in the form) and saw several seconds of a beautiful green meteor shooting across the sky. |
