| Name | Pam T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I’m not certain that I used these tools correctly. The meteor looked like a burning helicopter was going down at an angle and was landing near our stadium or on the roof of UNC hospital trauma center, or outside our town limits. I was sitiing and feeding my mother when the movement caught my eye. I jumped up and shouted. According to my iphone app compass, (I was looking out my third floor window), this direction was 93 degrees east. I initialy thought the direction was northwesr from West Rosemary St. I dialled 911 and gave them the wrong info re direction . I forgot that I had the app. |
