| Name | Michelle M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was excited because this is the first one that I've ever witnessed. I was a bit surprised because I always thought that a "shooting star" streaked rather quickly through the sky and would have a long tail, but this one moved slowly and had a short tail, it was bright and green, and it just kind of lingered, more like it was dropping and not shooting. What's funny is that just the night before, I was telling my boyfriend that I've never seen one. It was a great experience! |
