| Name | Kevin S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My friend Jordan and I both saw it. There is a lot of light pollution in Nashville, so to actually be able to see that was shocking. Travelling NNW on Highway 24. I had seen shooting stars before while living in Maine, but never saw one with a flash of red or one going straight down. There are many businesses in the area that might have cameras pointing in that direction. One of them is Topgolf. This the first one I ever reported. |
