Observer
Name Jillian U
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It looked like a huge hunk of something on fire with an effect almost like a sparkler (firework) main piece was red and sparks coming off were more yellow. My partner was with me and was turned the opposite direction and had time to see the last of the ball and a few seconds of the train.
