| Name | Amelia S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was like nothing we have ever seen. Our family was out for a walk, and all 4 of us saw this item shooting across the sky. It was much larger than a plane. It was really bright. It looked like a giant shooting star. It never disappeared, but kept going until we lost it in our line of site. We have large trees and houses as we are in a neighborhood. If you get a chance to email us about what this was, or any other information, we would love to know! |
