| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I did not see the end of the meteor as it continued falling behind the roof of a building which is situated below the plateau that is the Pacific School of Religion campus quad. I\'m not sure what the elevation of the quad is. This was brighter, bigger, and longer than any meteor I have observed, even while living in Tucson. I wonder if the noise of the city obstructed my hearing noise associated w/ the meteor. I thought I heard a low pitched hissing sound very briefly. |
