| Name | Rebecca V |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were parked and just happened to see a bright greenish-white light coming across the sky from right to left, just above the tree line. It was shooting sparks. At first we thought it was a plane crashing, then maybe a large firework, like a roman candle. It just kind of disappeared behind the tree line. We heard nothing, and it seemed too big to be a firework. We realized we must have seen a meteor. |
