Reports Report 2677id (Event 2677-2013)

Observer
Name Elizabeth T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I thought it was a shooting star, but had never seen anything so bright or last so long, so as it moved I wondered if it was indeed something other than a star. I kept waiting to hear something if it hit the ground. It was an astonishing thing to see.
