Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | My husband and I both saw it - he saw it first and pointed it out so it may have started higher than we noticed. It looked similar to a giant shooting star or maybe a single firework flash but it went behind a mountain peak on the horizon, ruling out firework. It was pretty large though, and very bright. |
