Observer
NameDavid H
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI live in the Ozarks and am used to seeing meteors, etc. Go figure that tonight while I am in New Jersey and the light pollution is horrible, did I see the #1 night sky event of my 48 year life. If I didn’t know any better, it looked just like a giant Roman candle firework, just that it was way high in the sky, a single ball, and the trajectory was falling. The way it appeared was just as amazing, it was like a pop of light and there it was. Brilliant and I feel extremely lucky.
