Observer
Name james l
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have a photo of this. It was something I have never observed before. The object did not seem to be moving. It had no tail and lasted for a good 2 minutes. I was stopped on a dark road and didn't have time to stay any longer due to the dangers of the road. I am confused as I am unable to find anyone else that noticed this.
