| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This event was beautiful and marks the first truly astounding meteor(/meteorite?) I've ever seen. I've been watching showers and catching random meteors since I was around 9, but at age 24 this is the best example I've ever seen. Caught it in Austin, TX with my naked eyes while outdoors at a wedding reception. Great coincidence! |
