| Remarks | It disappeared behind a house but I saw the horizon flicker once like a candle in an orange-red color. This is the first time I ever bother to search meteor sightings, but it was such an awesome sight, like out of the movies! The best way I could describe it was it looked like an orange-red pac man ghost, moving sideways. Like I said, I have no knowledge in this field, but thought I'd share my sighting. |
