| Name | Jennifer G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Was the biggest brightest ball of white me and other two lunar eclipse observers last night have ever seen... we are in SHOCK. We’ve all seen shooting stars and satellites etc.. It was to our left as we were watching the moon last night and we could see the Sacramento ca lights down in the valley.. ( i am basically 50 minutes north slightly west of Sacramento ). And it came down DOWN out of sky towards earth and was over in the direction of Sacramento.. it was NOT ABOVE our heads.. it came into our sight basically about the same lateral line as the moon was on, maybe little higher. Anyway,, IT wAS HUGE and has left us stunned |
