Observer
NameTerry N
Experience Level1/5
RemarksThis was the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen! It was so big, at first I thought it was some type of vehicle and that it was going to land in the field in front of me. Then I noticed the “tail” and realized it was a meteor, comet, or something like that.
