Observer
Name Margaret B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw it out my picture window in my living room It was beautiful and huge. It disappeared behind the big hill behind my neighbors house it seemed so close I was actually looking for the glow of a fire after it was gone but never saw any fire so it must have been much farther away than it seemed...I have seen shooting stars before but this one was huge I have never ever seen one this big...
