| Name | HOWARD M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I am the Chief meteorologist in at WBNG TV that regularly reports on meteor showers. My son was with me in the truck as we were driving and we feel this information is as accurate as we can recall. Also, most important, I am viewing this questionnaire in Chrome and the choice for rating your experience are EXTREMELY small; almost indecipherable. |
