| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the third one I saw tonight. My oldest daughter and youngest son had observed what we believe to be the Space X rocket in the eastern sky when we saw the meteor. The rocket was up to the north east of our field of view when the meteor came into view. It was amazing, but a little scary as I was awaiting a possible sonic boom. From our vantage point, the meteor was moving from east to almost due northwest. It really was amazing to see in person. |
