Observer
Name Paul B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have seen lots of shooting stars over the years as a Milkman who works mostly during the night but this one was by far the brightest and lasted the longest. When I first saw it I expected it to explode like a big display firework but it just kept going at a pretty constant speed and alltitude. I only lost sight of it it as I was down a lane and by the time I had driven up and had a clear view away from trees and houses it had gone. At first i did think it was breaking up but then I realised as it was going away from me it only apeared to be getting slower and not as bright as I was looking at the back of it. Awsome is the best way to describe it. Do we know exactly what it was?
