Observer
Name Marc L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Just a guess but it must have had tremendous velocity to go from almost vertically up to almost the horizon in less than 2seconds. Wasnt your typical split second streak of a shooting star, more like something travelling extremely fast and burning up in the atmosphere.
