Observer
Name Susan H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The lead was a very dominant ball shape and the tail was also a very dominant thick streak, it did not get smaller at the end it was pretty thick the whole time, sorry for the crude terminology, I am not a astrology geek, may become one now, this was the most impressive thing I have ever seen in the sky....saw the shuttle when it passed over Oklahoma, no contest
