Observer
Name Nolle K
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks This was beautiful and unexpected. My cat was the one that led me to the place where I saw the meteor burst across the sky. Meowing for me to follow him to a spot in our yard. I wonder what he knew. It was quite a meowing trek, I just followed. Such a beautiful trail and so so bright it was a great surprise. Very bright and a multicolored layered tail. Haven’t seen one so large in a long time.
