Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Saw it just after the second half of the Lehigh Men's Soccer game against Ryder started. was a trail of light low to the horizon and looked very close. mentioned it to the people sitting below me and they thought it looked a drone dying. I disagreed since it just appeared and went across the sky and disappeared. Very cool!
