| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve never seen anything like this. About once a year I lay in my backyard and watch a meteor shower, but it wasn’t a long thin straight tail like those. It looked bigger, closer. Like a softball followed by a short thick tail. It was on a curved trajectory headed down. Not a straight line? But the triangle behind it was straight. |
