Observer
Name Robert M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Three other people saw it at the same time I did.. It wasn't like a meteor.. It was much more bright and had a very short tail on it.. It resembled a dimmer version of a welding flash same color so to speak.. I have been searching the web looking for other sightings of it.. That's how I found this website.
