Observer
Name Nichole H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was BY FAR the biggest / brightest meteor I have ever seen, as well as the brightest my boyfriend had seen. I honestly thought it was going to travel all the way through the atmosphere to the Earth...at first it didn't see to be getting smaller at all. It really made an impression on us!!!
