Observer
Name Margie K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I'm not sure of the time we saw the meteor. What I wrote was approximate....one of the people I was with is saying it was before 10:30pm. I've seen lots of shooting stars and I've never seen anything like this before. It seemed so much closer and definitely was more colorful than anything I've seen before.
