| Name | Julie S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I\'ve seen many meteor showers and this one seemed to be MUCH closer to earth than normal. It was beautiful!! It started blue and turned to green. I was having some problems with the map. I was driving east and saw it towards the north...not directly north but maybe 1:00 - 2:00 between north and east. I would love to k ow if anything is found on the ground! |
