| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed way too low to be traveling at the angle it was. It defied the laws of gravity as I understand them and left my friend and I a little shocked at what we had just seen. We were walking along a dark area of a long street. The meteor was traveling so low and slow - yet straight across the sky and not falling. Our immediate reaction was that it would hit the ground and explode and we prepared for it, however it disappeared from view, and we didn't hear a thing. |
