Observer
Name Ken M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My wife & I where going across the street to look at the bay because the unusual amount of fish activity last night & on our way this stoped us in our tracks. I have a seen a lot of things in our east end Long Island sky’s, but NEVER ANYTHING LIKE THIS. It’s was breathtaking & a little scary. BUT VERY COOL!!! I hope someone got a good video, I just know local tweeter feeds are blowing up over it.
