Observer
Name Xavier C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving on my way home from work when I noticed the bright light. It all happened in seconds. I thought it was a helicopter light so I quickly glanced over to be almost blinded by the flash. It was so beautiful. The different colors was jaw dropping. I was in total disbelief. I was hyped about it the rest of the way home.
