| Name | Marian R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my car traveling north on 95 and it was within my field of view of the sky ahead and highway while driving. I was on the phone talking to my boyfriend who also loves meteors, etc and told him that it was a freakishly large and bright shooting star. I asked him if he thought someone could have shot off a flare, because it was that bright and that orange. |
