| Name | Hal L |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Never saw anything like that in my life. Was bright sunshine out, and it was very bright. It looked as though it was very close. But I imagine it was further away than I thought. Was only for a split second. But it was very clearly a meteor of some sort. Glowing at one end. A bright trail, with a red outter glow to it. -Hal |
