Name | G S |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | It looked like this:https://youtu.be/ULBJwz97-4k?t=116I was shocked at first because I have never experienced this myself (like the one in the video), only seen video's on the internet of it. I have seen many falling stars before but this was not just a regular falling star. I believe it is flew into earth's atmosphere because of the brightness and size (I am 99% confident about this).. Sucks that i was not able to film this, I didn't want to try also because my phone's camera sucks in low light conditions (It's a cheap Lenovo Vibe P2). |
