| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Laura M |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | It was in a high light pollution area, so the brightness of the fireball was very very unique. Usually, I need to head into the desert during meteor showers to see anything, so this was a very different experience. |
