| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was amazing. I was basically in the middle of nowhere there was what seemed to be a bright full moon, nearly behind us or maybe to my right, (we were traveling east slightly north) then suddenly my father and I saw the fire ball. It was not the largest one I have ever seen but it was definitely bigger than any kind of meteor shower meteor I have seen (which tend to just look like flies buzzing by). |
