| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were in our hot tub between the hours of 7:45pm and 8:30pm and we observe shooting stars all the time and what we seen last night was odd, bright, and low. My wife and I both agreed that was the brightest shooting star we ever seen and I actually listened, for some time after we seen it, for a boom or a noise of some sort and didn’t hear anything. But it was as bright at the moon, and big. Like I said bigger than a normal shooting star that we’ve ever seen. We stayed out there until about 8:30 to see if we seen anything else and we never did so 8:00pm was the approx time we seen it. We wake up to see that a possible asteroid hit the earth and couldn’t believe that we possibly seen it. |
