| Name | Rebecca B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | No idea what the heck I just saw. Found a report on boline meteors from June and thought it might be one. This spooked me so much that I stopped the car, called my husband, rolled down the windows to see if I smelled smoke. Looked like something burned up in the sky then fell straight down towards the ground. Crazy! |
