Name Dominic T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I’ve seen shooting stars, but this was different it was slower but still quite fast. i was driving but it was bright enough for me to take my eyes off the road and slow down. the tail was like it was almost glowing with light and the ball was white with orange at the front. it didn’t last very long but it was super cool and i’ll remember it forever.
