Observer
NameDonald S
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI first noticed it when it was almost behind me. The ground lit up with the shadow of trees, like a bright flashlight or full moon moving above around behind me, but only a small patch of lignt a few yards across. I turned and saw the meteor, it went over the horizon of the hill and trees behind me. A few minutes later, there was a low rumbling boom, like thunder, but that may have been something else.
