| Name | Elizabeth K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was able to see the actual detail of the flames around the object that ended in a long tail. I was taken back by the visible clarity of the flames themselves. It was northeast of my house, I was standing at the back door of my covered back porch and could see it above the height of the small barn, to the left of the barn, not directly above the barn. But it was low enough that I could see it below the roof of my covered porch. There was a brightly shimmering star that I could see near where it occurred . I hope this helps!! |
