| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was attending a music at the Austin Dam in Austin, PA... I was talking to a friend when I noticed the "shooting star" (what we thought it was at the time but realized it was MUCH longer and larger than a shooting star), I had enough time to stop the conversation and turn my friend around to see the "star". She turned the whole way around and STILL had time to witness this flying object thru the sky. We both questioned what it was because it was much larger, brighter and longer than a shooting star. All throughout the night, more of our friends were talking about seeing this event! It was magical! |
