Observer
Name Frances T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks There were a few dark orange sparks with this object. The object itself was dark and round. It was unlike a shooting star, it was heading to earth. It was much larger and differently shaped than a shooting star. It appeared like it was going to make impact. I was driving at the time northbound up the highway.
