Observer
Name Stephanie M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It caught my eye as I was watching television. It was so bright I had to look to see if it was a plane. It was so fast-moving, I knew it was not a plane. I followed it as it descended toward the horizon over Medicine lake direction and disappeared over the tree line in the distance.
