Reports Report 726g (Event 726-2011)

Observer
Name Diana
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Looking East from my deck I saw a white ball with a orange tail that looked like it was fiery. The front was clearly round and behind it was a wide tail that was bright orange and had uneven edges that were flame like. It moved slower than a shooting star, was huge in comparison and appeared to be right overhead. After it went behind the trees I could see it through the trees as it moved North toward the horizon.
