| Name | GRETCHEN R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It looked like photos you see of comets in books with a nose cone and a trail behind it. It was the largest 'streak' across the sky I have seen. I often 'shooting stars' and they are small, skinny and fast. This was slower and much, much larger. It very well could have been space junk entering the atmosphere, but it was so large that I thought I would try to find out what it might be. |
