| Remarks | I have seen a Meteor shower before, but this was something different. It was very large and seemed to be quite low down in the sky. It was cloudy last night, yet I could see it very clearly. It also looked like a smaller ball of fire was attached to it. I didn't see anything else after it and I observed the sky for 15 minutes. |
