| Name | Christopher L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving home in my car and after having seen it I second guessed what it was I saw; thinking it might have been a light reflection of the car headlights behind me. But it traveled too far across the horizon, and across my windshield, and it was one light source as opposed to two from a cars headlights. And there was a distinct red tail. I have not seen a meteor so bright or large before. |
