Reports Report 2132lx (Event 2132-2013)

Observer
Name Gary M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was looking at the very dark ground when it lit up brighter than the day time, which caused me to look in the direction of the light. That's when I saw what I thought was a shooting star, until it started traveling downwards, at which point I thought it might be a meteor. There was definitely a trail of light when it was traversing the sky, but once it disappeared, I didn't see anything after that. It was a beautiful thing to see!
