| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Unfortunately the meteor went behind a tree and I didn’t see how it ended - it was gone by the time I moved to try and see it. This was the biggest and brightest ball I’ve seen yet, and I question whether it’s a meteor or not because both it and the trail were klarge, it was white-white as was the thick trail. I was wondering if it was some space junk entering the atmosphere. |
