Observer
Name Steve M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks At first I thought it was a rocket. The tail was very long and fiery. It had to been at least a hundred miles off the coast of the Tampa Bay area. It was traveling horizontally. The tail slowly died down and then you could just see a red glowing object still traveling in the sky and then it went away.
