Observer
Name Jenny A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Wow this was huge and very bright. It started off looking like a big white shooting star then it became bright green then turned into bright orange flames at the front with a green tail. Very bright and visible. Went behind a hill so we didn't see impact or anything after that, no noise either.
