| Name | Abbey O |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I did not see this, I was driving. My 3 year old, Abbey, said she saw a "comet made of fire" out the window when we were leaving the Target parking lot. She loves astronomy and knows what some things mean, like star, moon, comet, etc. I asked her where she saw it and when I looked where she pointed she said "there but now it's gone." I thought she made this up until I saw on the news that other people reported it, too, so she answered the questions on this quiz with my help. Sincerely, Janet Ordiway (mom) |
