Observer
Name Bethany E
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I see shooting stars all the time, this was different. It was bigger and brighter and had a streak behind it as like a tail. It was moving downwards as if “falling” and lasted about 1.5-2 seconds. Long enough for me to notice the movement in the corner of my eye and look up and see it. I was in my car so I do not know if it had a sound or not as my radio was on.
