Observer
NameStephen W
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI have seen a number of meteors but much higher in altitude. This one was really close in and it felt like it could have hit the ground at some point not to far away. It all happened so fast though that hard to tell. It was really cool and amazing (words of my 8 year old daughter who say it with me)!!!
