| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was the most beautiful amazing meteor I've ever seen! It was so big and close and I've never seen one with color like that! At first I thought it was a firework, but when I realized it wasn't, I was so excited about what I was witnessing. Everyone should keep eyes up for these because it is something you will enjoy and never forget. I've been hoping to get lucky enough to spot one, always looking, never finding- this time, I was caught off guard! |
