| Name | Mary Anne P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was the most stunningly vivid thing I have ever seen in the night sky. I was just walking my dog in high winds, glancing up to look for Orion on occasion. When this flashed by, I was shocked. My dad suggested it might not be a meteor but a fireball, and a Google search brought me to your page. Not sure if it truly was a fireball, but the sight is a memory I will treasure forever! |
