| Name | Michael K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Definitely one of the biggest that I've seen, not an expert, but what impressed me was it's physical size in the sky. Definitely seemed bigger than other meteors I've seen at meteor showers. It wasn't particularly bright, but I think brighter than the moon. It was bright at first, and then started to dwindle as it went on. I think it started as red/yellow/orange, and then turned to white. |
