Observer Name Danielle M Experience Level 1/5 Remarks It was a significantly thick line in the sky, way thicker than that of a regular shooting star. Seemed closer because of that. It was very bright and lasted longer than most shooting stars I've seen. Looked as bright as fireworks look but it wasn't a firework.
