Reports Report 9918ja (Event 9918-2025)

Observer
Name Wayne R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks At my age in my 60s, I’ve seen many shooting stars. This was the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen so close it was as if it landed in the county where I reside absolutely stunning and beautiful. There was only one other car in front of me on the bypass and I’m pretty sure they saw it as well because it was so bright. Most beautiful shooting star I’ve laid eyes on otherwise I would not report it.
