| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | One time working in Oakland I saw the space shuttle re-enter the atmosphere in Oakland California that’s what got me excited about the skies but this siding was very amazing I have been waiting for months to see a good falling star meteor and I saw it tonight I had to run in the house and tell the others you missed it you missed it !!! It was a very bright flash that came into the atmosphere long white trail turns into green,liter green for a while and then it splits into like 8 to 10 pieces five . or the smaller ones going up , four of the other ones going down into the atmosphere all these pieces seem to be very large, one was larger than the rest , smoking and burning out dissipating out .One of the best sightings I have ever saw in 65 years , Tony S |
