| Name | Matthew J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I almost wish I didn't see it, no one is going to believe me. I have observed some amazing shooting stars in the past, this was different. It was a small, fast, blue/white streak. This is in a small city, it looked like the object was going to land in the town, then it disappeared. It seemed very close, was not off on the horizon. I don't believe it could have been any artificial light refractions, or trick of the mind. Very, very cool. |
