Reports Report 3151ky (Event 3151-2019)

Observer
Name Linda D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I star glaze often and have seen several shooting stars over the years in this area . I have never seen anything like this prior. I was driving in my car and turn my head towards the left and saw it . It was huge and bright ! There were patches of clouds in the sky ~ otherwise I probably may have had a clearer view or a longer view. Anyhow , for me , it was an amazing experience I’ll will never forget .🌟
