Observer
Name Kimberly D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was amazing. I had just walked out of the house to walk the dog. I love shooting stars, this one seemed to last forever and was really bright and just over the tree line. I actually went inside to see if anyone else reported seeing it on facebook. I was expectig to hear a loud crash but never heard anything.
