| Name | Dan F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were at the drive inn movies and it nearly came off the top left corner of the screen and was amazingly bright, heading left and down in our perspective. Seemed to burn out quickly/suddenly rather than disappear from our field of vision. My entire family saw it - kind of scared the kids. Have seen lots of meteors from afar - this seemed 100s of times bigger and brighter, and longer lasting. |
