Observer
Name Leslie K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was the most beautiful one I have ever seen. Sooo extremely bright colors of blue and yellow and bold. It wasn't the standard very small streak this was a very long and seemingly wide streak. I was driving south on Hegar Rd and it was in front of my windshield. It was soo different I thought I would hear something on the news. It went too fast for me to open my phone camera.
