Observer
Name Jessica P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving at the time. I was in between Ellendale and Guelph, ND.I am uncertain exactly where I saw it. It started in my peripheral vision so I turned to see it better (north). It was the brightest "shooting star" I ever saw. Then it got really bright at the end then disappeared like it burnt up.
