| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Pat F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was very dramatic do to the size and duration - Most meteors burn up within a second, and I saw a green on last year, and it was very fast. I almost pulled out my phone to take a picture, but by the time I would have got it open and focused it would have been gone, so I just admired it for the 10 or so seconds. |
