Observer
Name Lisa H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was the longest, widest, brightest most vivid shooting star I've ever seen in my life.I'm not sure I saw the beginning because I saw it through my trees in the backyard. It crossed my mind that it might have been a plane exploding, but was a too steady of a light. and the front looked like a ball. Very much like pictures of comets I've seen.
