Observer
Name Lori B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The time is approximate as are many of my other answers. Sorry I didn’t think to check my watch right after or note the kind of things you asked about. This was as best I can remember. A friend told me about this site so I could record it. I’m rarely out at night and it was so surprising!
