| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen one before this summer...and this is the second since march this year. The firs was HUGE and lit up the entire sky with pulsating light back in march. This one tonight looked more like a shooting star...just brighter, longer, and with what appeared to be pieces breaking off. |
