Name McKenna B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks we just turned around and saw an extremely bright shooting star in the sky, it looked extremely close to us. i don’t know how long it had been there before i turned around. it looked as if it had sparks or “cinders” on its tail. we didn’t get to see much of the end of it because it had mostly dipped behind buildings
