| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Deano J |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen small meteors before - the ones that appear the size of stars that flash across the sky. This was something else though - a fantastic, and wondrous sight that made me search up videos instantly once I had arrived.I found your site, and thought that reporting it may help me find out more about it. I hope someone in your network, or one of your cameras may have caught it. Either way I am elated over the fact that I got to see such a rare and magnificent sight. |
