| Name | Meredith P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was just out in my folk's driveway walking some friends out to their car after dinner and there was a bright flash overhead and the fireball travelled down towards the horizon. It was yellowish white and the outer edges and trail behind it turned orange, green and blue. No one but my husband and I saw it, it was beautiful and completely made me forget that I was sad about missing pannstars comet! |
