| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I m not really good at reporting direction because I was so shocked at the moment of it's occurrence, but I do remember it being in the northeast sky. It was huge and looked like it was going to land in my front yard. It was traveling very fast and caught my attention immediately because of it's size, light intensity, and fluorescent colors. I have never seen one before and I found it, although very brief...captivating. My grandson is an astronomer and I texted him immediately to ask him what it was that I saw. |
