| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was definitely the brightest shooting star I've ever seen. My boyfriend and I were walking our dog around the track when we saw it. I've never seen anything like that, and have observed 5+ meteor showers in my life. We waited for 15 minutes with our eyes on the sky to see if there would be more, but we didn't see anything else and then came home. We came home and google searched to see if anything had been reported in the Austin area re: it...that is how we found this website. :) |
