Observer
Name Clay K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The biggest brightest 'shooting star' I have ever witnessed. I was walking my dog when I saw it. When I returned home I immediately asked my wife if there was a meteor shower tonight and she started laughing as she just posted about the fireballs three minutes prior of my return on Facebook.
