| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw two flashes so bright that it shown through the curtain in my bedroom window. I thought it was someone taking pictures right out my bedroom and I was a little creeped out. I told my fiance about it. Then, at about 1am he read online about an East Coast meteor and he said,"That meteor is what you must have seen flashing outside!" Then I read about it online and news sources said it happened around 8 pm. I don't know what I saw (well, I did see two white-blue flashes,the second immediately after the first but dimmer), but I know I saw something really bright past 8 pm. |
