| Name | Stephanie M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was weird. I looked up from the backyard over the roof of the barn and there was this really bright oblong light with a tail about 6x the main light "blob" that tapered to a very fine trail. It's path was almost horizontal. It moved quickly but nothing like the speed of a meteor or shooting star. It was much, much bigger than those as well. I did listen for a bang or flash but heard nothing. This is a rural area without much light interference, so the light from this thing was very bright . ...Strange enough for me to ask Google- what did I just see? |
