Reports Report 1385c (Event 1385-2017)

Observer
Name Cindy M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Something in the direction I saw it got my attention but I am unsure of what. I saw a "normal" shooting star coming from the east downward toward westerly toward the ground at the same time. I am also not exactly sure of the time but it was within either side of 8:30 by ten minutes or so.
