| Name | Rachel H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was hard to give exact details, other than to say it was awesome - I was in absolute awe when i saw it! I was sitting inside my house, looking out the window (I live rural so no lights around and we have big windows). I was looking out to the North/West and it came into my view in the north and travelled through to the west. it was VERY big and looked VERY close - way more up close than I have ever seen a shooting star look. It would have been unbelievable to have seen it in full standing outside. Amazing!! |
