Reports Report 1907ju (Event 1907-2013)

Observer
Name Debbie N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This was the coolest thing I have ever seen it was 10 times larger than anything I have seen and bright orange seemed slower but maybe it was because it was bigger...I have never seen one like this and I stay up and watch meteor showers...right when I came in the house I posted on FB at 10:41 pm about it so I am guessing on time I stayed out hoping to catch another one a few minutes.
