| Name | chris |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I'm pretty sure this thing had a sonic boom, but we were driving on the highway and I didn't think to listen for it quick enough. It lasted a long time - the longest i've ever seen - even in internet videos! I can't believe i had the camera with me, and enough time to get it out, focus, and snap a picture...but i didn't because i thought 'there's no way that could be a meteor, it's as bright as the moon!' Surely someone else saw this! |
