| Name | Heidi R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have always loved shooting stars and bundle the kids in December to watch the showers and we watch them in august. This was something far beyond what I have ever seen. The whole sky lit up blue like lightening and then I saw the ball for a few seconds from my porch across the river and the explosion was so bright I could see it in my vision after it went back to a black sky. Incredible!!! |
