| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I am very curious what this was. This shooting star split the entire sky and was the most spectacular sight I’ve ever seen in the sky. From East to West, across the whole sky, minus maybe two fist heights at arms length on both sides. The moon was about 2 fist heights high at the time, unfortunately I do not know the exact time. I am excited to know more if possible!! |
