Observer
Name Darlene P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My house blocked my view at first. I saw the bright light first. It was like a flashlight shining from the top of my house. My house was blocking my view at first. Then I saw it in the sky. It was huge. I heard a large boom but it was many minutes later so not sure if it was related. It was an awesome sight!
