Name | Diana H |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | It was a beautiful, strong, vibrant color in the clear dark blue sky. Its train had the longest appearance time I've ever seen lasting from about 4-5 seconds. I am not Sure if I correctly estimated the degrees of the train but it was super long! |
