Observer
Name Kyla R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks When I first saw it I thought it was a shooting star then realized it looked like fire ball with a white trail behind so I questioned if it could be fireworks but it was too quick to burn out and didn’t shoot up and over but started up in the sky and then across and down
