Observer
Name Craig M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks For sure the most amazing night sight I have ever witnessed. I just happened to be looking out of my large North facing windows when the glow appeared above me and then the awesome orange red flaming streak appeared, with a fairly long red bursting trail behind it until it went out of the horizon line.
