| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was so quiet! We were surprised and commented about how low and large it seemed, and I was afraid it was an airplane, but there was no sound. "Shooting stars" always appear so far away. We had just sat down on the porch (between 9:50 and 10 PM) and there was no time to get a camera. There was a tail, though. My husband is a retired pilot and said he had never seen anything like that. I am an artist, I could paint it for you........ |
