| Name | Jill P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've observed at least a handful of meteor showers in my life, and have seen pre and post shower activity occurring in the skies before this, however I've never seen anything like this descending into the atmosphere. From my perspective, it honestly looked like a cross between a "falling star" and a comet(only much larger)! Perhaps it's no coincidence this happened two nights after a meteor shower in my area, in the Northwest sky. |
