Observer
Name Susan T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks A fairly large group of people who were standing outside the Shakespeare at Winedale theater barn after the evening show saw this. We were all uncertain whether it was a massive fireworks display, or a comet. It seemed very, very near us and rather low to the ground--just above the trees. I feel that I heard a whistling sound, but I'm not sure if I just imagined that in retrospect.
