Reports Report 1508n (Event 1508-2024)

Observer
Name Karla C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving home from the gym and I saw this shooting star in the sky right in front of me. There were no other cars on the road, nothing else in the sky. Completely clear it just came and went so quick. I stopped my car in the middle of the road I was in awe. I have seen a few meteor showers before so I am quite confident it was one !
