Observer
Name Agnes K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was inside laying on my couch looking out to my backyard through my big sliding glass doors which have no curtains. I was awake because of pain and so I was looking outside til I could fall asleep. This was between 1 am and 1:30 am. I know because I took ibuprofin at 1 am because of pain. It came from above my huge pine trees out across farmers fields and was going north but also falling down. It was huge and bright. So amazing I almost thought I imagined it ! I kept looking for more thinking it could be a meteorite shower but I only saw this big one. Too cool and glad I witnessed it !
