Observer
Name Chrsty G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was soooo amazing! Like nothing we’ve ever seen! I literally was saying it looked like a fireball, not knowing that’s what these things are called ( if it was that). My daughter typed in google, large orange glowing moving object in the sky and the pictures online resemble exactly what we saw !!
