| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw something similar to this event about 20 years ago. Then it was three bright streaks. It was later reported on the news that it was a russian satellite breaking apart as it entered the atmosphere. To a rare occurrence like this one time is thrilling,.to see it twice makes me feel blessed. I know it is probably two completely different things that made the streak, but still I fell lucky. |
