| Name | Shawn B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Happened while I was driving with my girl friend, we both saw it, lasted a few seconds rather than just a second like most, never saw a shooting star this bright or big, ever, and I'm 33 and have seen many shooting stars. I hope this can help, I am very interested in the cosmos and just hope that this is actually something that can help. |
