Observer
Name Brian D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have never seen anything like it. I thought a plane was on fire at first glance. I thought to run inside to get my phone, and I would have had time, but I thought surely it would explode at any moment and I didn't want to miss it. It didn't pop. disappeared past the tree line/horizon to the south south/west.
