| Name | Iris W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was actually outside by our fire pit at dusk, chatting with my roommate. In mid sentence she said "look!" And pointed upward. That's when we thought it was a shooting star, except it had a colorful tail. Bright white, smoking blue, red, orange...... Very cool!!!!! This is NOT an April Fool. It was very low to the ground, we thought it may hit the neighbors house. |
