| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Alexandra K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was incredible, I have watched a lot of meteor showers and never ever seen anything like it. Since it was a full moon I cannot even imagine how bright it would have been if the moon wasn't out. I wasn't watching the clock so it could have been a little earlier or later, but I believe it was before midnight |
