| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kat Z |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen many shooting stars and meteor showers. This particular flash of light appeared much, much closer. It reminded me of the end of a firework -- after the explosion, when the fragments of lights descend and fizzle out, except it was just one and it was bigger and brighter. |
