Observer
NameJessica Z
Experience Level1/5
RemarksI was looking at the stars and satellite air planes in the sky on the end of my early morning walk with my dog. I always like to look at the sky and figure out which are which thing. I looked to my left and saw what I distinguished was a star because it wasn’t moving and it wasn’t crazy bright when all of a sudden it appeared to catch fire. It literally looked like a dark circle with flames all around it and then it took off and disappeared. I continued to look at the sky around it to see if I could see any sort of smoke trail to question whether or not is was a star or something man made but couldn’t find anything.
