Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I just thought it was absolutely beautiful to see! I was driving and I have 1 other witness. My boyfriend was in the passenger seat and I saw it or the corner of my eye and then yelled for him to look and it lasted so long at first I thought it was a slow shooting star but then we realized it couldn't have been it was so big and about to land. My boyfriend thinks that it landed in a field at the end of Watson Mill Road!
