| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We were riding on motorcycle east from Spiceland Indiana around 8 pm on St. rd. 40 east when looking south the meteor was shooting across sky toward east. I've seen shooting stars and meteor showers, but this was pretty big and the greenish color stood out to me. I think we were seeing it much better than someone would have in an automobile since we were in open air .We were on our loud Harley and my husband was like yelling, did you see that? I was yelling, meteor! Pretty awesome. |
