| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was a beautiful site to see. Was walking dog & when got home told my daughter about what I saw. She later told me there were other reports on the news of meteor sitings. I've never seen this type of viewing. Have seen a shooting star before, but this was far brighter and closer. It was brilliant but silent. The sky was still a bit light, but at ground level it was dark. |
