| Name | Marc |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Tail looked short, and wide, like a manta ray or hand glider shape. Head was bright white and tail edges whisked into faint orange. Meteor traveled much slower than most meteors I\'ve seen, taking 2-4 seconds to cruise overhead. At first I thought it was a crashing aircraft, traveling a little faster than a normal plane, but much slower than any meteors I\'m used to. A beautiful site. |
