Experience Level1/5
RemarksIt was amazing. The largest and brightest shooting star I've ever seen in my life! I've been scouring the internet for days to see "what the heck I saw". At first I thought it may be a plane crashing it was so bright and large...seemed so close to the ground, then it just burned up and went dark. So cool.
