| Name | Martha N |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've watched meteor showers in several parts of the country but this was by far the biggest, brightest, most amazing meteor I've ever seen! Very cool and SO exciting to catch sight of! I posted this to the Danville, CA Nextdoor page and a few other people saw it as well so I'll ask them to report, too. |
