| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Although I have no professional experience, I saw this last night and was very excited! I told my daughter that it would probable be on the news and I was quite certain it was a meteorite. I didn't hear anything on the local news so I googled "meteorite sightings" and was so excited to find out that others saw it too! I'm not sure about the exact time, but I know it was somewhere between 6:30 and 7:30. It was very large, round, not much of a tail and very bright! |
