| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Greg T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It did have a glowing trail, but only while the "ball" itself was in view. I was driving southbound on a near-interstate quality road at 55 MPH at the time. My experience is more like 1.3 than 2, but I have watched for meteors during forecasted showers and saw a few. |
