Observer
Name Jacqueline B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was right at dusk. It looked like it was coming straight at me with the brightest light - like a train. At first I wanted to believe it was a star but it was too bright and big. Then it made this puff of smoke and looked like it broke into pieces
