Observer
Name Katelyn M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were standing on the boat ramp of the lake at Lake Somerville in Texas looking at the stars when we saw it happen. My 16 year old daughter took the submitted video catching the very end of it so this video is of the very tail end of the meteor. 4 of us saw it happen. 2 of us saw most of it. 2 saw the second half of it.
