Observer
Name Leslie L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was completely excited to witness such. My step-daughter mentioned that she saw a shooting star at roughly the same time I saw the meteor. She was about 30 miles south of where I was and similar sitings were reported in neighboring states at roughly the same time this morning.
