| Name | Matt W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was by far the brightest I have ever seen and I used to go look for meteor showers. Whatever it was it was very large. The flash and streak that remained were not small. Even if I was not looking up I would have seen the flash. To be honest, I walk my dogs every morning have had seen flashes previous mornings when not looking up. Perhaps I was ready this time. Not sure, but I let out an audible “oh wow.” |
