Observer
Name Richard G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Although it did not leave a residual glowing steak behind it, it was not a round orb shape either. More of a moving streak. The head, the orb at bottom of the streak, was larger at the apex and grew smaller as it moved downward. It's path appeared almost vertically downward. It was above the horizon line of the mountains on the West bank of the Kanawha River when it dimmed out.
