Name | Dave H |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | Yes Im so glad you asked, I came on to report that I have seen 8 in a week! None of them were massive like you see on youtube, but compared to normal falling stars they were definitely fireball class, I thought I better tell people who 'care' because it must be an unusual occurrence, I've been watching all my life and I was never once trying to see one in all 8 experiences! They were all that big bright and in the tiny amount I was outside at night, I'm floored, I was on the 2nd one let alone 8 |
