| Name | Robin G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I am not at all an astronomer but I love learning about space and after having researched what I saw, I’m pretty convinced it’s a meteor. I was drivng, so hard to pinpoint the exact location, but I’m happy to talk to explain in more detail what I saw. Could you please let me know if you can confirm what it is? |
