Observer
Name Lisa L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was amazing, I have never seen anything like it. I have seen many shooting stars but this was definitely different...it looked like a ball of fire! My husband was on the phone with a friend who was driving in Gainesville and he saw it at the same time which didn\'t seem possible to me because it looked like it was right there by us. I looked like it was going to touch the ground, maybe it did?!
