Name | Carter F |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | The moon was very bright so the meteor may have appeared brighter if it had been new moon. I initially looked up because I thought someone was shining a LED flashlight on me through the trees. Looked like there were glowing drips of plasma coming off of it. |
