| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kevin J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | At first it looked like a bright stationary object with a foggy radius around it, like it was in the clouds (except it was a clear night). Then, as I kept watching, a huge cone shaped tail formed to the observers right before I lost sight of it. |
