| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I assumed it was a meteor burning as it entered the atmosphere. I had seen something like this, though larger, which looked similar in the late 70\'s & heard a report the next day that it was a meteor that had landed in IL (I was in St. Louis looking eastward @ the time). |
