| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was an awesome sight. Last time I was lucky enough to see colored meteors was the 2002 Leonid shower, as it\'s always cloudy here on Long Island NY during showers! I waited as long as I could to see if I could spot more, but I saw just the one, albeit a spectacular one!! |
