| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I remember seeing one meteor before, many years back but it was very small/barely took up the sky. This one was very exciting because of the length of the sky it traveled while lit, the INSANE speed (I barely caught it) while also leaving a smoke trail in the moonlight to where I HAD to report it. Very exciting. |
