| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cyrstin M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I watch meteor showers OFTEN due to being so intrigued with space. I always see "shooting stars" that are off in the distance. Usually blue, purple, or green. This one was as big if the moon were full in the sky and bright orange like fire. Nothing I have ever seen. I wasn't even actively looking. It happened to appear in the sky while I was talking to someone. |
