Observer
Name Stephanie S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I dont know the exact time the event occurred. My son and I were taking the dogs out. It had a tail that spanned the length of the sky before it vanished. A bright flicker caught my eye and I turned and watched it streak the sky headed from west to east before it vanished, blocked by trees. Very bright orange and flickering.
