Observer
Name Dennis B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Me, 13, and my nephew, 10, were using my telescope as I saw a bright fast flash go by the lens view. I quickly took my eyes off the lens and looked up at the light zooming across the sky as me and my nephew pointed and were amazed at what we saw. I was use to meteors exploding so I told my nephew to run inside and tell our parents and we did.
