Name chuck w
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks it was streaking towards the east and low to the horizon. Brilliant orange with red center. I couldnt believe what i was seeing. I was looking down at the dog and when i raised my head i saw it for about 2 seconds. Thought it would strike the earth and start a fire but before it dipped below the horizon it went out. Poof. Like a light bulb.
