Observer
Name Lauren f
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was really scary. I've never seen anything like it before. I waited for a big boom or to hear mass screaming and both never happened. It may have not impacted? I'm no astronomer this I know, but there was something on fire in the sky last night like I've never seen before. And I'm nothing if not scared out my mind.
