Name | Kathy W |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | This was one of the brightest and lowest meteorites I've seen (bright like a firework, but one single ball heading downward at a curved angle). I was driving when I saw it. It started fairly low, and I lost track of it when it went below the treeline. Just thought I'd share! |
