| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dave A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've spent a few hundred hours in my life watching meteor showers, usually in the dark skies of Cornwall during the summer, and despite seeing some fantastic shooting stars, I've never seen anything as bright, as seemingly slow moving through the sky, or as impressive as last nights fireball. |
