Name Hailey J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fire ball looked like a shooting star but the initial burst of light that it came out of was like no shooting star I have ever seen. It was a bright white light with a green tint that lit up part of the sky like day time. Then the blue fire ball came out of the burst of light like it was from a different dimension or something and a golden sparkling tail of light trained behind it unlit it flew out of sight.
