| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Aaron H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've witnessed a few meteors and fireballs in the past but this was easily the brightest, largest, and most spectacular. It seemed large enough and close enough that I was actually expecting to hear/feel a shockwave from it. |
