| Name | Patrick D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were in our hot tub, my wife just remarked how pretty the sky was, a couple minutes later she said shooting star and I turned to see the final decent. I have never seen anything so brilliant and fast. All the shooting stars I have seen have been distant, this I feel as though was a meteorite and I am guessing landed within 30 miles, somewhere in Clark County, VA. |
