| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cassandra K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Saw this while driving, tried to be as accurate as I could with the report. Hard to say how far it was from my vantage point, it was quite bright and much larger than any meteor shower activity usually is. Note that it was cloudy, I hesitated to report this due to that but I've found no other explanation for what I saw. |
