Observer
Name Meredith J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Photo rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. We were watching what looked like something entering the atmosphere (a bright light moving with an atmospheric like trail at the front of it creating an arch around it). It was far away from what we saw which was a huge glowing orange burst that lasted 10-25 seconds. And then fizzled out.
