| Name | Mike S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | it was very brief, but it was not a line like a shooting star which I have seen many times. it was almost like a small, fast moving cloud. it was roughly the size of light bulb at a distance but it also had a trail somewhat comet-like. i'm assuming the shooting star "line" was obscured by the slight haze in the morning sky. Also, it was brief as it appeared from my roof line and then disappeared behind trees as I looked out the back door of my house. |
