Observer
Name Michele C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was in the city, and it was very bright. I thought it was a plane going down on the way to O'Hare at first, but there was no noise. It was really big and bright and at the level of the roof tops adjacent to where I was standing and quickly disappeared behind the rooftops.
