| Name | Gregory R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've observed many meteor showers, seen many shooting stars, usually small like little needles darting across the sky. This one was massive compared to anything else I've seen and appeared to go straight down to Earth and make landfall but the elevation of the horizon may have been deceiving. I was in my car so I could not hear anything but I was half expecting to see an explosion near the horizon. It began at the top of my field of vision through the windshield and went all the way down to the horizon without breaking up or exploding. |
