| Name | Kai H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was on the road so my attention was double tasking. I 100% saw a massive shooting star at the least but this was the most jaw dropping thing I’ve ever witnessed come from the sky. And my brother, dad and I love stargazing and going out to see meteor showers etc. so I’m not new to the sightings. But this was HUGE I about pulled over. I called my girlfriend when I got home just to tell her because I couldn’t even put it into words. Anyways, I’m a geek so I looked up if I could report a sighting anywhere and here we are. |
