| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andre M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many shooting stars, a few meteor showers, and several SpaceX launches in the last 10 to 20 years; this seemed different, as it was lower in the sky(although I’m up on a hill above LA), incredibly white and bright, and seemed like a very clean streaking with the flare at the end. |
