Name steven h
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Listened for sound but heard none. I walk dog this same time every night and often look for shooting stars or satellites. I have never seen a shooting star go vertical like it was falling. Never seen brighter pulse, then dim, then bright again either. It could have been over western Newark DE or in Cecil County MD.
