Reports Report 1878f (Event 1878-2014)

Observer
Name Shanni W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was amazing. I have never seen anything like this, which is why I went straight to my computer. I have seen shooting stars, but this was huge. I told my husband it was like seeing something half the size of the moon fall! And it was slow enough for me to catch sight of it and then cognitively register so that I could get a better look. I kept waiting for a huge explosion as if a plane had gone down!
