Observer
Name Nancy C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was sleeping and I happened to open my eyes to look out at the sky and that's when I saw the fire ball! It was bright and big! I jumped out of bed to take a much closer look and it was gone. I made a quick wish for good luck. :) However, I question the time factor. It could have been 12:30 or 2:30.
