Observer
Name Carmen O
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was sitting in my living room and just happened to look up and saw it. I texted my sister-in-law who lives across the street from me: I just saw some big white light thing fall somewhere behind your house. Like a shooting star but huge." I was facing north and the light went streaked from east to west.
