| Name | Keri M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My tv faces the East with two windows flanking the sides. I caught it out of the corner of my eye on the left side of my living room, then fully saw it through my window. It started at the middle of the window and was tail light. It was so bright it immediately caught my attention. It moved in a downward arc from south to north, fanned out like a firework, and ended in a bright flash. It was golden and I would have mistaken it for one of my favorite fireworks but there was no sound at all and I would have heard a firework. It was silent but so bright and distinct. I’ve stayed up for meteor showers and rarely see anything—this one truly surprised me |
