Observer
Name Rachel W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was facing the west, and the sun had just set. I might be off on the directions I chose but it was like a huge star that was green and purple and could have been 5 seconds give or take. There was a trail of light behind it, but I feel like all shooting stars do that, so I wasn’t sure if that was considered a train. It was awesome!
