| Name | Keani L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was pointing almost STRAIGHT down. A SLIGHT angle, but it went straight down. I wish I would’ve gotten it on camera but it all happened so fast & I was driving. It was an epic experience and if it was a meteorite I would love to figure out a way to locate it and send it in to the Chicago Field Museum for scientific study! |
