| Name | Tom M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I think it’s important to note this was so close that I could tell it was going in approximately a 60 degree angle (from my perspective) across the sky. It was breathtaking. Also this was extremely bright in the daylight sky. I would imagine it was caught on some kind of security footage, if not several. I also did not note the time, if could be anywhere between 8:50 and 9:05 I believe. If you find a video please please share. I have seen meteor showers and several singular “shooting stars” and this was insane. |
