Observer
Name Brenda L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It first appeared to be a shooting star. But the tail wasn't fading away and it was traveling at a steady speed and lasted longer than any shooting star I've ever seen. Was sitting outside, there was absolutely no sound associated to it. Lost sight of it through the trees to the west of me.
