Observer
Name Kobuk K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My wife was ALSO witness to this event and called it to my attention as we took our dog for a walk. It looked like an acetylene torch in the sky, it was very bright. We saw the bright light and fire trail die out before it went out of sight. Feel free and contact us if you have any questions. Konrad.inc@gmail.com
