Reports Report 5598be (Event 5598-2023)

Observer
Name Amy S
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I witnessed this event in my living room looking out the window. I was looking directly north. The light was so big and bright I actually hollered out loud. I was not star gazing at the time , but this was so big and bright that you couldn’t help but notice it. Maybe the biggest shooting star I have witnessed. Spectacular.
