| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dana G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many shooting stars and I would describe this as the “largest, biggest, brightest, longest shooting star I’ve ever seen” - aka all of the motions and the length felt like a shooting star, BUT HUGE and it lasted probably a second or two longer? |
