| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This is by far the lowest, largest meteor I have EVER seen & I'm 46 & have been watching the sky for years. Probably not relevant, other than this is very strange...cue twilight zone music...about 6-9 mos. ago I was driving in virtually the exact same location, give or take 1/4m. Basically at this same intersection of Powers Blvd at Dublin & I saw the 2nd lowest & 2nd largest meteor I've ever seen in my life. That one was in the NW sky, appearing to fall over the Air Force Academy. Many ppl don't see this when looking for it! I've seen 2 while I was the driver in a vehicle, not looking for meteors, at the exact same location in town. That's just frickin' weird :-). |
