Observer
Name Chris R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Bright orange to reddish. Moved very slow in relation to common ''shooting stars''. Moved SW to NE from my perspective. Started off small with a long reddish orange streak, dimmed, then flashed about halfway through the event before completely disappearing. If holding your hands extended with fingers spread at arms length, it was the length of 2 hands.
