Observer
Name Lori M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was standing in my backyard letting my dogs out and I often stand and look at the stars, trying to determine which are stars and which are planets (I learned this in college astronomy classes). I was looking up at the sky when all of a sudden I saw something bright that suddenly came from right to left (east to west approximately) with a white body and orange tail. No sound. It was very bright. It was awesome!
