Reports Report 1382et (Event 1382-2021)

Observer
Name Louise L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was speaking to my sister in CA and I remarked to her that I had just seen a really bright shooting star even though the sky wasn’t yet dusk. There was a good bit of early dusk blue with a vivid sunset beginning. Because it wasn’t really dark yet- it was quite unexpected. It lasted long enough for me to comment before it ended brightly above Mt. Washington. I live on the third floor of a home on Munjoy Hill which is also quite high, so I had a really good view of it. It was quite stunning.
