| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dustin H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have casually seen dozens of falling stars, and I have stayed up at night watching meteor showers. Never have I seen anything even in the same ballpark as impressive as this. I thought it was a comet at first, because it was so large and slow moving. |
