| Name | Amy S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor came from behind me while I was driving. I saw flashing in the trees that was too high and bright for my headlights. When I looked up, I initially thought a plane was about to crash in front of me. Then I realized it was a meteor. It lasted a long time, and took my breath away. It faded into a trail of sparks as it disappeared. It was amazing to witness and left me with goosebumps... |
