| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | There were three of us that saw this, myself, my wife, and our Airbnb host. We all agreed it was the most spectacular meteor we'd ever seen. I met a guy on a bike ride the next day that said his teenage son had also seen it while they were sitting by a campfire at the same time (8:30 pm). |
