| Name | Donna D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Once a year I watch the sky if there is a shower in the news and will see little tiny occasional ones in a one night, but this was a very bright one compared to those. I could see the moon to the my west, just a little south of my window, and there was a very bright star almost straight west of my house. I just sat down on my couch and looked out my window when the light flashed, just a little north of that star and trailed almost straight west, possibly a bit south for the 2 seconds it blazed by. I lived sorta rural, city lights of Sudbury, Ontario to my west, but I can see night stars very well. I hope someone else saw it! |
