| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was longer than any other shooting star or meteor shower i’ve ever seen. We were watching it from inside the car and stopped to look at it for a while. It lasted a really long time and we turned down a couple roads by the time it finished. It started below the tree line, went above it and over the city, and ended below the tree line on the opposite end. |

| Remarks | The trail was glowing, i thought it was reflecting the city light but it was un-natural looking. It got less bright as the trail got longer, but it left such a long trail it was unbelievable. I got more photos but it doesn’t let me submit them all. It was fire-y red and orange and got lighter as it trailed off. |
