| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Anthony Y |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My son-in-law said look!, I had time to turn around and watch this event for a second or two, It was very bright, like 50 or 60 of any shooting star I've ever seen. We did listen in our quiet neighborhood for any sound, but heard nothing. The angle and height would not have been consistent with any kind of firework. |
