Observer
Name Brook K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have been going for evening walks lately to watch the sunset. I normally do a full loop but halfway into the loop I got a gut feeling to turn around and walk the way I came. 2 minutes later I saw it. Weird coincidence. But very bright and takes the 1st place of all the shooting stars I’ve seen
