| Name | Anne H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It blew our minds it was that clear, sudden, dramatic, fast and BEAUTIFUL! Saw it from the lane into our large farm, extremely clear. We thought at first fireworks or shooting star, but too huge and amazingly colorful tail!! A few others in the town north of us, the direction we saw it appear to "come down over," Centreville md 21617, also reported in the town's resident Facebook page that they saw it. Most amzing thing my husband and I have ever seen in the sky, we're middle aged. |
