| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I immediately knew it was some extrordinary meteor, by the way it descended in to horizon, with such speed. The end was spectacular, brightening the area in the horizon. It disappeared little above the horizon completely, a little above the roof tops of neighborhood. The meteor was very circular, resembling an oversized headlght of an old car, was cold, not hurting the eye. I immediately infomed my neighbor, who was walking with me. Of course he did not see to believe. |
