| Name | Mark L |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I have been Stargazing for Decades, I've never seen this type of Meteor. White to green, then to red, the colors were neon! This was magical. A life changing wonder of amazement...moment, that will.... last forever. "String of Pearls" one half-hour before, back inside for the Dragon Capsule splashdown..... what a night man! Imagine what the 'Bombardment Period' was like(?).... I try. I have one idea now. Always lookin' Up! Mark Linehan, Westerlo, NY. Albany County. |
