| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I don't go looking for shooting stars, but I have seen many in my life, and this was not only the brightest I've seen either in ages or ever, it was also extraordinary to me in that I don't believe I'd ever seen a blue one before. I wouldn't have reported it, but I mentioned it to my mother who is much more of an astronomy buff than I am, and she sent me the link to this site, so I thought you guys might be interested. |
