| Name | Katherine U |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Absolutely awe inspiring! I was not actively looking for meteors nor was I even aware of the Taurids, I just happened to be outside. So initially I was stunned, confused and even a bit frightened at the sudden and almost complete brightness at that hour. After realizing what (I thought) it was, I still had what felt like LOTS of time to watch and appreciate it. When I went inside to research a bit, I discovered it was a fireball! I feel so fortunate and grateful to have witnessed such a wonderful sight and will remember this always. |
