| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Elizabeth F |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen one this close to the horizon, or one this large. It seemed so close, that I expected to hear a sonic boom or something, yet it was silent. Beautiful and exciting,though! Not sure if the broken trail behind it was it breaking apart, or just "sparks" for lack of a better word. |
