Observer
Name kaylynn w
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving to pickup my significant other. I was driving towards court square and bam there it was. I left my house at 8:47pm and arrived at his work just up the road from where it happened at 8:55 so I believe my timing is also right. It was very bright and significant size. But it disappeared very fast. However I did see another just regular shooting star maybe 15 minutes later
