Observer
NameBlair R
Experience Level1/5
RemarksTBH when it first entered my field of vision it seemed to hooked round on a curve and then start heading in a straight line.. Im not sure if this is an optical illusion but it only straightened up as it passed me. It felt really close I could see sparks coming off the back and it looked like there was pulsing lava at the back of it.
