| Name | Chris M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Considering the light pollution where I live seeing a meteor at all is a extremely rare event, but this one was so bright it would not surprise me if it hit the ground. I may be wrong about the length time I saw it and the angle. It vanished since it passed beyond my range of vision about a second after I saw it. I'm not sure I got the brightness right, definitely brighter then the moon but not as bright as the sun, it wasn't painful to look at for example. |
