Observer
Name Samantha T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The time could be a bit off. I was in my conversation. It was so huge and so bright AND SO FAST!!! It was so much bigger and brighter AND SO MUCH FASTER than an airplane!!! I have never ever EVER seen anything like it. It was amazing to see! There might have been a burn out flash. It happened so fast and I was so shocked I don’t know. I do feel like I might have seen one. Sorry this is my first rodeo! But wow.
