Observer
Name Erin L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was the most remarkable thing I have ever seen in the sky. The speed and brightness are what caught my attention. Initially it looked like a very fast moving light, and then a very significant bright tail formed before it traveled out of my line of sight.
