| Name | Sian B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I and my partner saw this as we were taking our dog on a short evening walk. Something in the sky, which is particularly clear tonight, caught my eye. I exclaimed and pointed and my partner, teddi, turned to look. We both saw what we believe was a meteor! It was not like anything else we’ve seen before. To the eye it was larger and closer than a shooting star but moving at the same pace a shooting star would appear at. It seemed to burn up in the sky above us. |
