Observer
Name Laura H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We had just walked outside and it caught our attention immediately. It was huge and it seemed very close. At first my friend thought it might be an airplane on fire, but we quickly realized it was a meteor when it started disintegrating. I have never seen anything like this before.
