Jessie P
Experience Level
3/5
Remarks
It was relatively close to the moon, at about the same level of the moon - which is what made it especially noticeable - that I could see it so brightly even with a full moon. I assumed it was meteor until I searched “did I just see a meteor?” and came across your site.
