Observer
Name Megan B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have never seen one of these before! Other people in the area posted on Facebook they saw it and to submit what you saw. I'm unsure of what I put was exactly accurate. It happened so quickly but it looked like a very bright shooting star with a long tail moving a bit slower almost like a comet.
