Name Dawn R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I just know it was fast, left a trail about 1/3 the length between a light appearing and disappearing. Was very high in the horizon. Never seen anything quite like this one and I've seen shooting stars. They seem to have a curve in them when falling. This looked straight path
