| Name | Cubis R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've lived on Florida's Gulf Coast most my life, I fish a lot at night and have seen shooting stars here and there but never anything like this. It was pitch black no back ground lights. It was so low and broke apart into the water. I was so excited I've never seen anything like it! I was googling to see if anyone else had the same experience and was recommended here. I know the odds of seeing that again are ridiculous I suppose, but I'm curious to know if there are tangible ones out there laying on the vast empty shoreline. |
