Experience Level 2/5
Remarks There were 6 of us in the VIP area 2nd level and all saw it. Two meteors in formation came in fast from southeast, almost turned directly toward us, slowed down significantly, then disappeared just west of the track, they split directions as they appeared to turn south toward the track then dissipated just west of track Initially thought it was a Quad Copter as part of the Kiss Show going to do more pyrotechnics, it seemed to turn into the track, at extreme speed, to the point that i was going to take cover, then slowed down and vaporized just to west of track. We all looked at each other in disbelief and asked if they saw it. No Drugs, few drinks, clearly others saw as well. I have seen northern lights, many meteor showers, shooting stars, but this was far and away the most vivid, clear, personally intense one I have seen. Excellent addition to a stellar KISS stage Production. The full moon had just come up over the stage, just behind the track tower. So wish we caught that on video.
