Observer
Name Ann D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Amazing!! I've never seen anything like it. At first I thought it was a shooting star but it was much bigger and brighter than that. Also an amazing trail after it. Everyone bought I was crazy when I told them I saw something in the sky but now I read an article in the news so I know I wasn't seeing things!
