Observer
Name Donald C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Just was out catfishing and seen bright light shooting sideways towards the horizon. Seen meteor showers before and they were tiny. This was a single kind of big one. Not sure exactly what it was. But it was pretty cool. Good fishing that night too. Time could be off a little bit. Didn't actually take notice of it I suppose
