Observer
Name Carol H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was by far the largest I have ever seen and golden in color which I never saw before. Usually I would see them in August. This was quite a surprise! Also the ball was what I saw first and then the train. I hope there is video of it I would love to see it again!
