| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Christina D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen maybe 15-20 or more meteors in my lifetime (not including the accumulation of meteors I saw when I slept outside to watch a meteor shower years ago. I may have seen 2 last year. The meteor I saw today has to top it off as being one of the absolute brightest, longest, and most colorful meteors I’ve ever seen before. |
