Name Phoebe A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I've seen shooting stars before and this was completely different. It seemed so close almost like a firework long tail in the sky. It was really bright and long going diagonally across the sky. It was blue and orange and long. The tail of it was orange and the rest of it was blue and shooting very long at an angle across the sky, right in front of us, the moon was much higher than Where we saw this. Airplanes also looked higher above than what we saw shooting across the sky. It looked similar to a shooting star, but longer, closer, and blue and orange. And much bigger!!
