Observer
Name Andrea C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was not the only one that saw this. It was opening morning of deer season and lots of us in that area saw it, but had no clue what it was. It was the colors that threw us off. I was coming across an open field and at first I thought a jet air craft was crashing towards me it was so bright.
