| Name | Kimberly B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this at night time, just over the top of the movie theater. It disappeared from my line of sight behind the roof. Unfortunately I was the only one of my friends to see it. But I’m certain that it was a shooting star! The largest, closest one I had ever seen! I would have thought it was a firework with how bright and white it was, but it was shooting down, not up. I love astrology so I believe the universe blessed me with the luck of being in the right space, at the right time, facing the right way. I would appreciate more information on it, just to confirm if I really saw it! |
