Observer
Name Lisa L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have seen the average slim streak of a shooting star high in the sky. What i saw last night was not something I'd ever seen before. It was huge compared to a shooting star and low in the sky. I saw it through the tops of the tree line as i happened to glance out our large picture window. It was pure chance
