Observer
Name Lauren A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were driving down kettle river from broadway. Caught sight of it out the window, and was like “what the heck is that!” For a moment I thought it was a plane crashing, but it only lasted a few seconds. It was big and bright and really cool! Never seen anything quite like it. Like a giant shooting star that changed from red to orange to yellow. My husband and daughter saw it too.
