| Observer | |

| Name | London Z |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was with my friend Riley and cross checked all the info with him, I do astrophotography and heard about the meteor shower and decided to watch it with my friend! It was crazy to see! I sadly only caught the end right before it fragmented, I saw the ground light up briefly in my peripheral vision and saw it just before it fragmented, but I got to see it break apart into a bunch of little pieces! It was directly above us going west to east! Hopefully my report helps! |
