Observer
NameAmanda A
Experience Level1/5
RemarksIt was amazing. We were walking in the sidewalk, and there are many trees covering the street we were walking. But, just as we came to the first part of the street where there are no trees/coverage, this bright ball with a trail appeared silently. My boyfriend and I wouldn’t have noticed had I not been looking at the stars
