Observer
NameJulian H
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI was driving and my partner in the passenger seat said "what's that in the sky" and I still had time to look up and left and see a very bright light with bits breaking off it and appearing to burn up. First time i've ever seen anything like it and much more interesting than the usual streak from a meteorite.
