Observer
Name Kennedy C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks At first it didn't seem to be moving, or maybe at my angle, it was coming directly down at me or seemed to be. But then it seemed to be going down the horizon, and then it was gone. It also seemed to have a bubble(?) of light around it. Like when jets break the sound barrier
