| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Elizabeth C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving to work and saw what looked like a shooting star but very close, but it was very fast and bright to be considered a plane or satellite and it didn’t flash and lasted much longer than a star would, and it had a tail. It was very cool |
