Name Estelle W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was beautiful and unlike any shooting star I’ve ever seen. It was much closer, and was a tadpole shape, burning blue with a beautiful orange to light yellow tail. It was so close instead of out in space, and for a fleeting moment the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. My 10 year old niece and I were gobsmacked.
