| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Laura D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My sister and I both saw this event, as well as our neighbors two houses to the south. I've seen meteor showers but this was brighter, slightly slower moving, and seemed much closer. There was normal residential street lighting, but we could clearly see stars. We saw no aircraft in our area at the time. I saw one plane in the distance to the south after the event. |
