Name | Abby R |
Experience Level | 1/5 |
Remarks | I was up early working in my home office, we have huge windows facing the lake, and I was lucky enough to see it. It was so bright and vivid, I thought it was some type of firework or flare at first. It wasn't until I saw the reports later that I realized I was lucky enough to have witnessed a meteor! |
