| Name | Darlene M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen meteor showers off and on for many years but this was different from any I had seen before. It was a single bright light that sorta flashed like a flash bulb or fireworks, then dimmed and gone. No sound. When I first saw it streaking across the sky it had a whitish "tail" and got real bright before it flashed. There were multiple sparkles of colors, just before it flashed. Coolest thing I've seen since the meteor shower I saw with my kids in 1993, that looked like "showers" of yellow trails. This was one single bright ball of light.. very cool! |
