Observer
Name Karen L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I see shooting stars where I live. This was no shooting star. Too low. Too fast and bright without any die out. No trail. No red or blue lights, too fast and smooth for plane or helicopter. Too bright and too low for a falling star or satalite. I literally said out loud... What the hell was that!!
