Observer
Name Debra S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I am bad at math.I was leaving my neighbors house with my son walking east with my son.I grew up watching the Aroura Borealis in Marquette, Michigan and can say definitely what I observed this evening was NOT the N Lights! It was the color of antifreeze with a Brightness factor of 100% it was huge by my comparison to meteors. Michigan is 3miles from where I saw it and it looked as though it wasgoing straight into the lake. the dialogue from first sighting till the end went like this "oh my god Thomas look" oh my god a couple more times and that was it. I was amazed to be in the right place at the right time to see something I have never seen and probably never will again coming from beyond Earth's atmosphere possibly / ionosphere?. I have to say I am not exactly sure of the month or the day I'm trying to get information from my son who can't pull himself away from a video game so as I try to remember details I will get back with you when I have concrete memory sincerely Deborah Simms PS do you know Dr James Vickers he received his doctorate atBerkeley and he designed something he called gizmo which means gas impermeable solar spectral monitor while attending Boston U..their team was called terriers .in the past 5 years he has launched 2 rockets both failed due solar panels facing away from the Sun.okay I'm done i cant feel my left hand because it's numb from holding this Android thing which is a wonderful device I must say by
