Observer
Name Melody P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This was huge and so bright and so close to earth, unlike a shooting star that is faint and in the distance I've never seen anything like this. It was a spectacular sight. Unreal. It just kept going and going with same brightness and then it was out of my sight
