Observer
Name Annette S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was impressed with how large and bright it was. We thought it was fireworks at first but quickly realized that it was a meteor. I have seen falling stars that seemed far away but this seemed extremely close. We thought that it fell into the South River right in front of our home. It was quite a sight !
