Name Deborah P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks it was 100% cloud cover but bright enough to see trajectory through the clouds. My husband and I both saw it - it was bright enough to get our attention. I've seen meteor showers before but this was much much brighter. it was bright enough to get our attention above the neon lights of the movie theater that we were walking towards.
