| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Amazing site, so clear orange and strong, I was walking home and saw it in the sky, mentioned it when I got home as wasn’t quite sure what I saw, as it was so large, not like any other shooting star I’ve seen. Wondered if it was a plane on fire, but I now know it was a meteor, as it been reported on social media. |
