| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jason A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Not sure my time is 100% accurate. My daughters practice ended at 8pm, stopped at the store, I think I was home by 9pm. 8:45 is best guess give or take a few mins. Glad to hear it was this, it was so big and long(compared to any shooting star I've ever seen) I honestly thought it might be a missile... I checked the news when I got home to see if there were reports of a bombingbor something. |
