Observer
NameShelby E
Experience Level1/5
RemarksThis was so beautiful! I was driving north on i5 and saw it arch across the sky right in front of me. It seemed so close! At first I thought it was an aircraft but it was crossing the flight path going around 2x the speed of the planes. After watching it a few seconds I could make out a sparkly flamey train. I eventually lost sight of it as it got obstructed by trees.
