| Name | Will S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We aren’t quite sure of the time. It would have been between 8:15-9pm (central time) because it was after trick or treating. Will is 6-y/o and he is the one saw it; another family at the state park did, too (we were looking to see if we could spot the aurora borealis). I’m his mom and didn’t see it because I was looking at him, but I heard it and saw the very bright light reflect on his face as it passed overhead. His sister Clara (8 y/o) missed it because she was looking for a stray cat, so we are very excited to follow your page and learn as much as we can about these! |
