| Name | Lisa H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The head of it was very bright, and it looked like it had three or four distinct reddish orange trails and almost looked like it was slightly going at an upward trajectory but was low on horizon. I grabbed my phone trying to get picture but then it sort of began to shrink by the time I could open it and snap a shot, and then it just went 'poof' and there was a faint little gray squiggles from where it poof'ed and then it disappeared, but it was big and bright at the start, like a yellowish orange ball with a red and orange three or four separate streaked tail. |
