Remarks | We were camping in Caspers Wilderness park and my friend saw a shooting star. We all turned to look and it because brighter than a regular shooting star, then broke into 2 pieces and slowly moved across the sky. It was orange, looked like two items burning as they feel through the atmosphere. |
