Observer
NameNick S
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI was shocked and thrilled to witness this! It was too brilliant and low in the sky to be a shooting star and had a long firey tail, so I figured it was a meteor or comet. Fascinating!! (My grown children asked if made a wish on it) The glow and tail dissipated and looked to burn out as it fell shooting southeast.
