Observer
Name Angela O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was amazed at what I saw. I was lying down on my sofa, watching tv, facing the wall that has the high upper windows, and saw what I knew was too large to be a shooting star. It happened so fast. I have never seen anything like this before. I was in the right place at the right time, as I got a wonderful view of it, perfectly angled from the upper right of my window to a lower part of the left side of the window when it went out of view. I kept waiting for an explosion sound, but heard /felt nothing.
