Observer
Name Andy L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was out turkey hunting when I saw it. It was awesome to see, I've never experienced something that large until today. At first I thought it was a shooting star until it lasted so long and the burning color got brighter. It seemed much closer then it really was I was surprised to find out how much farther south in actually was.
