| Name | Jason A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Have seem many shooting stars in my life....this was very different. Like the equivalent of 10 shooting stars at once. Thick streak, but short and big explosive expansion of light/ball at the end of it. Not completely sure about time...its approximate. I was on a rooftop at the time. Music was playing. It was last night sometime between 12 and 1:30am, which makes it technically early this morning. Most spectacular thing I've ever seen in the sky. |
