Observer
Name Stephanie D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My dog barked and looked outside. I laughed and looked outside from sitting on the couch. I witnessed the brightest fireball I've ever seen! I could faintly see the outline of a meteor inside with outstanding bright white surrounding and the most magnificent bright green! I felt it was so close. And so brilliant. I have some astronomy and viewing experiences. I'll remember this brilliance and proximity forever.
