| Name | Bambi B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | As I was going to work this a.m., I noticed a very \"slow\" shooting star. I looked at my clock, and it was approximately 6:27 a.m., CST, falling at a slight angle from upper right to lower left, just slightly east of due south (I don\'t know my degrees). I had to stop and think if there were any shuttle missions taking off, because the fall was so slow, it was as if something was crashing. Would love to know more if possible. |
