| Name | Zorra R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared as it entered the atmosphere, bright enough to draw my attention while driving. I watched it glide across the sky at a slight tilt for several seconds, it was burning and had a tail. Then it vanished as it left the atmosphere again, as though it passed in and out of a doorway. Nothing lingered, no after glow. At that angle it was more magnificent then most of the shooting stars I can see in this area. |
