Observer
Name Julie H
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Time of sighting is approximate. 7:30-7:45, sorry I don't have exact time. I was on my boat with a friend having dinner so I've made sure we agree on what I've reported. We were shocked at how bright this meteor was. Brightest either of us has ever seen. We're both 59 and have spent a lot of nights stargazing. He thinks we're the only ones who saw it. I bet him our next dinner out that he's wrong and we'll see video in someone's Ring door camera. I sure hope so. Thank you!
