| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Isaiah P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I thought this was a firework at first, but it seems to be the wrong angle for a firework. Also I am not sure if meteors/fireballs are named, but if so, id like to name this one "Charlene's Meteor" in memory of my deceased mother. Today (the day I saw the meteor) would have been her birthday. |
