| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Traci T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Like I said - I thought it was a falling star but it was much thicker and seemed to go down much slower than I've seen falling stars fall. Then as it got closer to my horizon, it looked like it split in half with the tail part having a tinge of blue towards the front. |
