Observer
NamePamela C
Experience Level1/5
RemarksIt was so bright and low that at first I thought it was one of those sky lanterns. Then I realized that it was traveling too fast for a lantern. It also had a bright tail. It flew over Lake Bloomington and then over the trees on the other side. Shortly after that it went out.
