Observer
Name Gordon R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was ten times better than the Melbourne videos online, I first noticed it as is was shining through my front windows onto an internal house wall,creatind a shadow as Iwalked through the beam, I thought it was a plane at first with it's lights on coming towards me. I went out onto the decking and watched in awe as it all traveled straight over me. It would have been amazing to video it, but I was just dumbfounded!
