| Name | Michelle B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | A few years ago (?), I also witnessed a large meteor, moon sized with huge tail, from very close to this same location (near end of Concord Rd 1/4 mile from Nolensville Rd). It was also a Saturday night, around the same time, +/-11pm. That trajectory seemed similar to March 3, as though it were falling into Lavergne, TN. |
