Observer
Name Ben D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I thought it was a spaceship at first. The cone of light behind the meteor was like nothing I’ve seen before. I know the picture is bad because I had to run get my phone and of course it wanted to use the flash so it took a couple seconds to focus and actually take the picture. Meanwhile the fireball itself went behind a tree (and wall) but you can still see the amazing trail of light behind it
