| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very quick and hope my report helps, this was an amazing experience to see first hand and it’s all thanks to my dog Benji, lol he was aiming to go outside and AS SOON as we stepped outside it happened the brightest, what I believe to be a shooting star. It lit the night up so much it looked like 1pm for .5 seconds! Absolutely amazing! |
