| Observer | |

| Name | Patricia K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My astronomy experience is limited to identifying some planets and constellations in the night sky, and watching a bit during meteorite showers. I have seen many "shooting stars" but never anything this large and so very bright, a greenish white orb with a blue perimeter and a glowing tail that streaked behind it. Lasted long enough for me to shout at my husband "Look! Look! Look! Look!" -he never saw it -he thought I was shouting about an animal in the underbrush, so he looked there :-). |
