Observer
Name Charles L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have seen shooting stars before, nothing like this. This wasn't across the sky, it was almost straight down. The area provided is approximate but very close, and direction should be all the same. Its on that stretch of highway that's georgia 515, heading north through Jasper. Technically I think its an eastbound/westbound highway but through Jasper I would've been northbound/eastbound. Not south or west. Time is pretty exact, it was 10:48-10:49pm 3/28/26
