| Name | Meredith H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve watched meteor showers, this was so much wider than a “shooting star” and seemed to burn out. I was driving, and it seemed quite far away in the distance, but was so bright. It looked like something came out of nowhere and burned out just as fast as it appeared. I’ve never seen anything like it. It wasn’t a firework (too far away and too high on the sky). I honestly don’t know what to call it, I googled to see if others saw it and only found things about the MO fireball. |
