Observer
Name David B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was so close, I was listening to see if I heard something hit the ground or was looking for fire or something. It was huge and brighter than a car light with their lights on bright mode. Thought it was a mistake or plane but 100 times bigger than a plane and light was white in color
