Name heather P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It had quiet a trail on it streaming behind it. Looked like it was right over head and traveled straight down highland ave. Safe it while driving towards davis square. It seemed to just burn out in about a second or two after about 5 seconds. No noise or remaining trail. Beautiful soft green.
