Name | Walter B |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | The largest shooting star I have ever seen! Huge and with undulating edges as it fell. Very noticeable color. Disappeared behind the tree line, but left a bold, glowing trail. A friend and I were walking on the street and we both witnessed it. Very powerful image. |
