| Name | Kiah D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At first it seemed almost like an airplane on fire, and living near the airport I felt slightly spooked for a split second. I was in complete awe. I couldn’t believe how big, bright, and close to the horizon it was. And for how long it was visible. I’ve never seen anything like it and it was so awesome I had to google if anyone else had seen it (which led me to your site) |
