| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Derek L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Brightest shooting star I’ve ever seen. I look at the sky as I walk every night hunting for satellites, I’ve driven out of the city numerous times to observe Perseid and other meteor showers, and have been looking toward the stars my entire life. Only thing comparable in brightness or length of streak left behind has been a spacex launch or re-entry. |
