| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mark C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen many shooting stars in my life, but never one like this. It was so large, close and vivid. I had just stepped out my front door, and it was directly overhead and flying straight away from me. My first thought was a plane on fire. But the vivid colors and speed, and how quickly it zoomed by and disappeared in seconds, it couldn't be a plane. |
