Observer
Name Patrick K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have never seen a meteor this big in my life. Just from where I was the trail looked about a half inch thick as it moved across the horizon, it only dropped slightly, and I didn't see the end because my view was partially blocked by trees. very spectacular, and kinda scary because it was so big.
