Observer
Name Jim C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I saw only part of the event. I was facing east and suddenly the whole yard lite up, like bright moon light. Then I looked up above high in the sky and saw the brightest \"Falling Star\" I have ever seen (and I am 64 years old!) It\'s path was from the south-west toward the north east.
