| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I drive a delivery route every day 2am to 7 am for the past 4yrs. I've seen a lot of meteors before, never one so long, lasting, or bright. When I first spotted it out of the corner of my eye in the high northern sky, I thought it was just a shooting star, because it had a small tail. As it continued for more than 10 s I realized it was getting bigger and burning brighter. This was when I figured I was seeing a comet, I realize it couldn't be a comet, that's just what it looked like. It just kept getting bigger and brighter and more amazing. I watched it from the high northern sky fall until it fell below the horizon. As I said earlier simply amazing, totally reminded me of seeing a comet. |
