Reports Report 967aa (Event 967-2013)

Observer
Name Tara T
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I'm not sure this was anything more than an EXTREMELY bright shooting star. However, I found it interesting this was posted after my friends and I had talked about this particular "shooting star" for a few moments afterward. I didn't see the end of it due to a tree line but when it stared it was so bright it drew my eyes away from the conversation and went long enough for me to see it for a good second before it fell out sight.
