Observer
Name Susie M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have never seen an object like this before in the night sky here. I have seen shooting stars and space stations pass by but this was brighter and bigger, with a definite head and tail. It was observed by my husband and myself from our front room (curtains were open). Natures best firework?
