Robert R
Experience Level
2/5
Remarks
It was brighter than normal meteors I have seen in the night. I occasionally look for meteors during showers. Being in town we rarely see them. This was the first for my daughter who was with me. She said it was white. I thought it was yellow but I am color blind.
