Observer
Name Lana L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Our family enjoys watching for satellites and meteors at our lake home. Every summer on moonless nights we watch from the dock. We have seen many of fast moving satellites and shooting stars over the years. My husband and I eyed one another with jaws agape after seeing this one last Saturday asking, "Did you just see that!!?"
