| Name | Nikesh P |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Seen a few meteorites that keep going across the sky but they seemed so far but also quickly disappear and also seen some close ones that disintegrate into spectacular green and other types of green. But this one was a unique experience and it’s my constant sky watching, using nothing but my own eyes, Observing the stars and other celestial objects that over 33 years that it has paid off to something that spectacular! Too bad I didn’t have my phone with me. |
