| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Nicole K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought someone lit a firework, but there were no sounds, or bursts like you see with fireworks. It was bright and it lasted several seconds. More intense than any "shooting star" that I've seen before. I can say, this is the first time I have seen anything like this in the sky before. Very cool. |
