| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Justin E |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was the longest sighting. I started counting at soon as it started looking odd, so, it may have been longer than 12 seconds, and the direction may have been coming at me, then going away, I didn't move once I first saw it. It was bright like a helicopter, and at the time I thought it was a helicopter had exploding. Scary stuff, but, exciting once I noticed the characteristics that looked like a meteor . |
