Observer
Name vicki k
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was at my window and it just appeared suddenly. It amazed me with how bright and large it was. It was solid at it's head. I wondered meteor or man-made falling. Very large. It seemed to come from horizon and follow arc of the sky. Not falling as much as travelling. It had white yellow and orange coloring as if on fire and leaving a trail.
