Observer
Name Bree T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It went by so quick - I saw it bigger at the lower/falling end than at the top. I was on my 2nd floor patio when it occurred and saw it just over the top of the building in front of ours. I didn't get to see if fall all the way as it disappeared behind the building. It was very bright and fast - super awesome!!!
