| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought someone had set off fireworks, it seemed so close. It was a huge ball of firey colors with a massively long tail. I kept waiting for a boom or something but never heard anything. Other than the particle trail I didn't see any lasting smoke trail. It seemed to end abruptly, as though it burned out, rather than continuing until out of sight. By far one of the closest, best, and most beautiful meteors I have ever seen. |
