| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were heading north of Silver Bay, Mn on Hwy #1 on motorcycles with friends. It was early evening, the sky was clear, and the sun was bright. The road was lined both sides with tall trees making our viewpoint limited at the time. It was hard to believe what we saw so we did a \'sanity check\' at our next stop. We all saw the meteor and everyone described it using the same characteristics. |
