| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Richard S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was a type of "shooting star" that I have NEVER seen. It was low, and large, with a pronounced "tail". I didn't know WHAT it was. I've seen plenty of "shooting stars" in my life but NOTHING like this. Pretty jarring. Just saw it. |
