| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dylan J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was out back in the field watching the rocket launch into orbit and when It was finally going across the sky it got north of my position and the biggest meteor I have ever seen entered way above it and cut down across the sky to the left, right in front of the rocket, then it got so bright I had to squint, it was as bright as lightning, then it burned out down below the trees, it was a crazy experience I'll never see again!! |
