Observer
Name Marlena C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks My daughter and I both saw it as we were driving home on Loop 256. It looked really close and was a bright white color with an orange tail like a shooting star. it glowed brighter fir a short bit before it burned out. Right before it burned out was the moment it showed the green and blue colors. It was a really exciting experience.
