| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Oddly enough, about 45 miles away, my sister saw the same thing as I. I called my mom to tell her and my sister saw it while she was on the phone with my mom, pretty crazy! :) it was absolutely stellar and I feel lucky I was able to see it. It lasted longer than any "shooting star" I have ever seen and it was big. I was driving my car, and in my view it seemed to be about pea size, which is enormous compared to shooting stars, are pin tips. Thanks. I hope I this helps you figure out how awesome this really was! |
