| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared for a very short time. Didn't travel very far, kind of made an arc up and then back down and then disappeared. Thought it was an explosion at first. It was huge! Although it was fairly close to the horizon, so that probably made a difference. But bigger than any meteor I've ever seen. |
