Observer
Name Howard T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was just unreal to me. It was bright- low in the sky- i was in awe of what I saw. NOBODY else was around. it was still dark out-45 minutes before sunrise. I saw some other people about 10 minutes later and asked them if they saw it.. They did not but they took an Uber that dropped them off and the driver said he saw it as he was driving to drop them off.
