| Name | Roger F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was only for a few seconds. The sky is bright blue without a single cloud. It glowed bright like phosphorous or burning metal. The puff of smoke it left was the only thing in a blue sky. Also, it was traveling really fast. No sound I coukd hear. It was so low I woukd think if anything survived it would have hit in our subdivision. Baywood Oaks, Pasadena, Texas. Im not a meteor watcher, but am educated. Electrical Engineer and retired Army officer. |
