Observer
Name Linda H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Have never seen anything like this it was not a shooting star. It was very low and nothing plane like. I presume the red glow was it getting cooler over the fields. It was very fast. It looked like flames I thought at first a plane but was too fast and then went glowing red at a fast pace
