| Remarks | I am a photographer, so I have seen thing before, This was very different, It was giant to the eye, and lasted a long time, the tail was so long, and I was shocked how well I could see the details, felt close. It happened in that 15 minute window that the sun has set, but the sky is still blue. The peculiar thing is, about 20 ? minutes later I smelled bon fire type smell that lasted all night and until this morning. I faced north, it moved from west to east. |
