Observer
Name Alexandria B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have trouble describing this, it was so quick and terrified me. I saw a bright light that moved across the sky in front of me. Not very high, it almost looked like a plane or shooting start but it was so, so bright so I knew it wasn't. Halfway across it developed a tail of almost sparks. After making the path the ball of light just vanished.
