Observer
Name thedarcsage Y
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was the biggest one I've seen. It was awesome!! I love this stuff. I'm sure others saw it too because it streaked right over the freeway as everyone on the freeway was heading West on the CA-10 West Freeway. Pretty bright and colorful and seemingly close too like the size of a street lamp but way up in the sky.
