| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in the sky. It was incredibly clear to the eye, almost cartoon like in its simplicity. It looked so big I couldn’t believe it. My children had just gotten married and we were all standing outside facing the dark sky while they were having their pictures taken. As we watched them my husband and I, and a few other guests, saw it traveling across the sky in the direction we were looking. Someone said “look it’s a shooting star” and I thought to myself it can’t be, it’s just too close and so big. As it fell behind the tree line we stood with our mouths open in awe. |
