Observer
Name Sigouney W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was the MOST beautiful thing I have EVER seen!! I felt like i was seeing it in slow motion and it was so bright and vivid I was shaking! I am so lucky to have seen something that MAGNIFICENT!! It was SO LOW that i was sure it landed because it caught fire momentarily! I cannot be positive with the horizon measurements I gave because i couldn't see the horizon and it was headed toward a mountain/ where I am everything is very uneven. I was sitting in my car looking out kind up high and I was talking on the phone and it appeared out of nowhere and stayed for a while and changed colors and went out, it didn't move out of my range of vision it was just gone. It was moving at a very steep angle but it wasn't falling straight down! If you all find out if it really did land or something please let me know! IT MOVED ME TO TEARS AND I HAVE NEVER ONCE CRIED AT NATURE, I MEAN WOW! i wanna cry just thinking about it! I am just upset that no one else witnessed it with me!
