Reports Report 53d (Event 53-2017)

Observer
Name Ann G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have seen shooting stars before but this was a bit larger and brighter than before, plus I was in a semi-urban area so you normally don't see as many stars. It did travel at the same speed as the shooting stars I have seen in rural star filled skies. I was in my car facing the western sky on commerce drive on the east side of the harley-davidson plant.
