| Name | Lisa C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was not a falling star; much bigger. I was in my car, stopped to turn and it was in front of me up and coming down but not straight. It had a curved downward n outward projection. Fast and very bright. Dauntingly beautiful (in retrospect). I had to get my child from late school practice so as I saw it I also had to drive away. I did not hear anything from inside car wit windows up. It hapoened so fast but in my mind now I see it a bit slower. I expected to hear something as I was driving but didnt. It was big and my field of view at the sighting was open and I can realize it was probably some miles out in its ending. Just a magnificantly, amazing sight. I hope more people might have seen it too. |
