Observer
Name Cheryl D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Happened to be looking out at a plane going by and saw what looked like a shooting star… only bigger and brighter. Went by pretty fast and disappeared. I was indoors so didn’t hear anything.. other than the noise of the plane. Found this website while trying to search for what it could be.
