Observer
Name Stephanie P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was in my car driving through the target parking lot toward my parking spot, and I happened to look up in the sky to my East at the right time. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was just a silver streak shooting from the sky with a ball at the end that flashed then and it was over. It was pretty big.
