| Name | Jacob S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Well it was either heading south or south east most probably south. I was walking with my twin brother and I happened to look at the right time an I saw the meteor. It was trying twilight the sun had set but the oranges were at the far horizon. I live close by. The area I saw it was a new development in Waxahachie Texas. Somehow my brother did not see it as he was texting on social media, while I happened to look up at the right time. I’ve seen shooting stars and meteors before but not that close. It’s more similar to one of those videos or top news headlines rather than an image of a faint shooting star. I have no pictures or video because it was unexpected and very short lived. |
