| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kevin S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I immediately tweeted about it, but only one other person claimed to have seen it. I then did some research and saw that a meteor shower was expected. But this one was much brighter than one you’d see in a typical shower, especially considering my proximity to Chicago light pollution. |
