Observer
Name	lee B
Experience Level	3/5
Remarks	Around 1995 or so i saw the draconid shower and me and two other people thought we saw a plane crash, because we were in northcentral pa. and the hills are steep and the flash was so bright. i would have swore it was only a few hundred feet off the ground. thats when i got interested in meteor showeres. i have this cool thing i bought at a yard sale for 50 cents. its called a miller planisphere, i grew up 20 miles from cherry springs pa. i would love to be there on the 17th and 18th.

Terminal flash
Observation	Yes
Remarks	I was at work. stepped outside to have a smoke and as I looked northwest slightly above the hills. I saw a bright flash, and then,zing babaloo.. it was gone in a streak across the sky. almost like it was heading southwest down the ohio into Pittsburgh. I was actually looking to see the evening star. I prayed to it on October 4th, I prayed for god to take my older brother home and let him quit fighting. lost a leg to sugar then gets lung cancer. The next night .oct, 5.I saw a shooting star as I looked up but I was looking east up the street, and it went from se. northward. KInda flipped me out. I called my wife and said was this a god Email? Almighty text? Wow that was just spooky. My brother passed the next day. What I saw on oct. 5th was a shooting star. I believe?. bright dot suddenly streaking across the sky then its gone. But Tuesday night that was way different , it was a bright flash that seemed to explode , then a streak shot out of it down the river and it seemed like a fast laser train just went zipping across the sky, I immediately looked at the evening star which was just below the moon and it was just a sliver of a moon. almost like a lunar eclipse, And I said , Robert,if you did that, It was awsume,love ya brother.
