NameAmelia P
Experience Level3/5
RemarksIt was huge and amazing! I saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought it was an airplane landing at first (there is an airport very near) but then I really looked at it and it was the biggest meteor I’ve ever seen! Maybe the airport has data on this event?
