| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ashleigh H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I’m not so sure this was a meteor at all, but something else falling from space considering the size, the tail and the colors. Also by how slow it took and the wait things fragmented off of it and the angle it was falling at. |
