| Name | Mason M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It looked like a missle & was shockingly bright, despite the fact that we were under a dense fog advisory @ the time. I posted a comment on facebook when i got to work, that i was not real sure what i had seen & for once in my life was without the ability to describe what i had seen. Hours later i saw on the news feed that it was this meteor which was a special feeling. A friend of mine who lives in south Florida had seen my post & forwarded me the meteor report so that i would have some resolution to my sighting! Until that point, i had seen no other reports of it & thought possibly that i was the only one that has seen it! |
