Name | Miranda J |
Experience Level | 4/5 |
Remarks | No, except it was amazing! My daughter and I both saw it at the same time, we watch meteor showers together regularly and our jaws both dropped when we saw this one. We were driving (slowly; it’s a country road and lots of deer) home and it was so big and bright in front of us that I stopped driving immediately as it went across the sky. We both said, “Whoa! What was that?! Did it hit the earth?!” |
