Observer
Name Wilburta J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My 12 year old son thought this was a falling star but it was much bigger and brighter to be a falling star. The next thing I was bracing for was the "boom," but i'm thankful there was no boom! My 12 year old were very much amazed by this awesome sight on this night! I have never seen anything like this in my whole life until March 20, 2013.
