Reports Report 480ag (Event 480-2018)

Observer
Name Savannah B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have never seen a sighting like this or ever seen a meteor shower. It was really cool and bright at first I looked up thinking it was a plane or something close but looked up and realized it was a meteor. It looked round and close to where I was I could see a lot of it! It looked big from my perspective.
