| Name | Aaron F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Where I was it was huge, bright, and fast! Time in view was considerable as I got attention of a friend and walked across the parking lot watching in good view the entire time till it disappeared into the NW horizon of Portland. Looked like a movie scene of a shuttle burning up during re-entry. Reminded me of the 2013 Russia meteor I've seen video of so much that I had concern of a possible concussion to come. Glad that I had that experience and someone to share it with as I will never see anything like that again in my life! Truly awesome |
