Observer
Name Sam W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was as fast as a shooting star, but lasted longer and went through the clouds. I was cycling at the Time. It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Litrally saw it pierce through the clouds and out the other side. I wish I had my gopro on my helmet. It would have caught the whole thing.
