Reports Report 3828f (Event 3828-2015)

| Name | Taylor P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen shooting stars before, but this was something much more fantastic. I wish I had seen it in complete open sky, but it was only slightly blocked by some leafless tree branches (as it is approaching Winter). It was certainly not blocked enough to notice how bright it was. It did not illuminate anything on the ground, but it was most definitely brighter than Venus. Very cool experience that I caught by chance. |
