Observer
Name Dawn R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I've seen lots of shooting stars throughout my life, and have been watching the Perseids for about 40yrs. I've NEVER seen anything like what I saw this morning. It looked like it could have been a comet. It was bright red, and had a tail. I was facing east. It came from the southeast, and was headed towards the northwest.
