| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dave T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It didn’t move much in the sky, but felt like it was coming straight at me. Like a very bright, very large star that got bigger and brighter until it burst. Caught my attention because everything around me was getting lit up like someone flipped a switch and turned on the full moon, but kept getting brighter. |
