|---|---|
| Name | Thomas S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I work at Infotech Solutions, LLC 75 State Route 27, Suite 202 Iselin, NJ 08830. I was talking to my girlfriend about some sushi she ordered me for a special valentines day lunch, when all of a sudden I saw a meteor come flying down out of the sky looking like it landed near Lawrence Harbor NJ. Sheila didn’t believe me, but I know what I saw. I googled it and sure enough I found your posting about multiple others who saw the burning rock. It was hot and red and burning in, then fizzled out like a completed firecracker. It was so cool to see one during the day, valentines day meteor wish! |
