Reports Report 4475g (Event 4475-2020)

Observer
Name Sidney D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My eyes were closed, and it was bright enough to make me think someone with a flashlight had pointed it towards my campsite from 100 or so feet away. I reflexively opened my eyes and saw the meteor. I’ve seen dozens upon dozens of shooting stars in my life while camping and being outdoors. Never anything even close to this.
