Observer
Name Dyson F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw it from my basement I was so bright I saw it through my window while looking at my computer in a well lit room. It was really big compared to an airplane that would have been flying in the sky and moving much faster but not as fast and normal shooting stars I have seen. This lasted a few seconds until it flew past my window and i could not see it anymore.
