Observer
Name Gina B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I wasn’t sure what I was seeing at first as I have never seen anything like it! I thought maybe it was a firework, but then realized I was possibly witnessing a spectacular shooting star! It was bright white and red/orange, then blue and green! Was so bright, big and low in the sky and it lasted for so much longer than a typical shooting star. It was like a rainbow flashing in the sky! Once in a lifetime sighting for me...it was just beautiful!!!! 😍💫
