| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My mom and I thought it was a plane crashing or on fire, but we then came to realization it was a meteor of some sort. It was sparking and looked like a fast moving firework display. It then disappeared into the night after so many seconds but left a trail behind but that soon disappeared as well. Beautiful sight, never seen anything like it before in my seventeen years and her forty years! |
