| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Marcy S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was so bright that I mistook it for the moon momentarily, but I realized that the moon could not possibly be in that location, and then I realized that it was falling. It frightened me very much; I thought it might be fireworks, but I heard no noise or impact. It had a tail. |
