| Remarks | From my perception of size, I expected to hear local news reports of the incident, along with a significant impact with the Earth. However, there was little awareness in Port Huron, MI. With lack of a means of reporting, this is understandable. My astronomer friend told me about this website. Thanks for the opportunity to share my experience. |

| Remarks | My first perception was that it was massive, of irregular shape, and close. Flaming pieces were coming off of it as it passed by. I fully expected to hear a sonic boom, but did not. My perception was that it landed on the Canadian side of Lake Huron, but after looking at the map on this site, I see it went farther East, which now makes me believe it was farther away and much larger than I first thought. |
