| Name | chad c |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home after work when I seen the meteor. I was kind of in shock but once I got close to my house and while it was still fresh on my mind I pulled over and took a picture out of the driver side window as I had been looking out of at the meteor earlier..When I got home I immediately uploaded the photo to my computor and then drew the meteor at the angles , the smoke and color and size as i had seen it maybe 30 minutes earlier. So in the photo please disregard anything under the meteor . I was in a parking lot at that time of the photo and I was just trying to capture as much in my memory as possible. So if you take that pic and place it on 35 02 52 N 85 11 06 W thats what I saw and it scared the hell out of me. This thing was big ,please get back with me if you know anything about it Thanks |
