Observer
Name Crystal P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The brightest and most close meteor I've ever seen. It was as if it would have hit a low flying plane. Coming from top straight down. So so close and bright . It was beautiful. And this was seen with heavy light pollution.. even still it was the brightest I've seen by far.
