Observer
Name Stephanie H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I've seen meteor and comet showers, falling stars, comets even this is the first I've ever seen this it was so slow yet fast moving but slowest I've ever seen I guess because it was so close so full and bright I could see it ripping through the atmosphere leaving a trail of beautiful glowing dust for miles that stayed in the sky for well over and hour or more! It was silent and bright and amazing !
