| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen meteor showers in the woods, this was not a regular meteor by any means. Super bright, long and WAY HUGE compared to normal meteors. It caught my attention as I drove because of how bright and big it was. I was traveling South and what I saw was to the SW of my location. It was intense and just amazing. I have never seen anything like it in my 50 years alive. |
