I enjoyed seeing it. Its been a while since I saw an object of its size this close and it was very impressive the last one i saw this size was the martin county event this one seemed higher up
It was interesting first one I have seen traveling southeast to dead east from my position, I think it would have came down in pike county but I can't be sure...
