| Name | Erin T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The sun was not fully set, it came seemingly out of nowhere, and lasted almost as long as I could say "what is that" and then disappeared behind a cloud. I was looking at the sky form my bedroom window because the clouds and setting sun were exceptionally beautify. And then i saw it, and it was not a plane, not a satellite, It looked just like a shooting star but seemingly a second or more longer visible and quite confusing as it was not dark out. therefore must have been very bright. A very bright ball like front, with a trailing tail of same color, slowly dissipating as it traveled. |
