Name | Ann Eliese G |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | I've never seen anything like it in my life. At first I thought it might have been a plane crashing but it was too fast, and too big really. It was glowing bright red and orange and had a curved directory unlike the white light of a meteor you'd see during a shower, and it felt really close (I almost wanted to drive in the direction it went..). |
