| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Shawna B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Not sure it's relevant, but after sitting up to watch meteor showers on several other occasions and seeing the typical 'shooting star', this was the largest and brightest I and the rest of my family has ever seen! When I first saw it, I almost thought someone nearby had shot off a firework that we didn't hear, but I quickly realized it was a meteor because of the angle in the sky and the lack of any sound or any other lights. |
