Name | Ron B |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | My friend and I were standing on the front porch when we saw this meteor. I've seen a few of them in my 56 years, but I'd NEVER seen anything like this! That's why I got online and searched to see if anyone else saw it. It was amazing. It was so large and bright that I expected to hear some sort of explosion. And at first, I thought it might be something other than a meteor because it was so different from anything else I'd ever seen. |
