Observer
Name Sabina P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was on the beach in Montauk looking at the ocean. No one was around (maybe like one other family on the beach) and my family. Around 830pm we saw something that looked like a fire ball shoot across only for 2 seconds or so. But it looked low so we weren’t sure what it was. Really trying to see what happened!
