Name Karen W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The location ane time we\'re approximate to 10 minutes and 5 miles. I was too shocked to take better notes! This was very close to the ground. It appeared to me to be the same \"size\" as the moon that night. I wish there was a better way to describe how close it was!
