Remarks ..I've only seen 1 other 'shooting star' this calendar year....this sighting (seems) the closet and brightest and largest I've seen in ...perhaps 20 or so years....amazing that I was stopped at a stoplight and just happened to look north and there it was....and tonight was the day before full moon and we had quite intermittent cloudy conditions....lucky...I was !!!
