| Name | Martha H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We saw this as we were driving home from Lexington on Mountain Parkway. It was still the gloaming so stars were not yet entirely visible, when the meteor flashed across the night sky directly ahead of us. We drove about another 20 minutes or so to get home and there still was not total darkness, so this was on the early end of the night sky. It was our 10th wedding anniversary! |
