| Name | Nina |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting on my balcony (I live on the the third floor). While I was sitting out there I saw an extremely bright white light, it almost looked like it was coming towards me. It looked very similar to a headlight on an airplane but much closer than any airplane could get (safely). I was speechless at what I was seeing. As it headed over my apartment, I turned sideways in my seat to continue watching it. I then saw the long "tail" also white in color attached to the bright white light. I could only see so much until it was out of my view so I did not see if it continued or fizzled out. It was an amazing sight. |
