Like I mentioned previously, the flash of light prior to seeing the ball of light was much brighter than anything I’ve seen (shooting star). Even though I wasn’t looking up when it occurred it was bright enough to get my attention. The ball of light I saw once I looked up seemed very close and was gone quickly.

Remarks
Was looking down at my phone, saw what I thought was a flash of lightening in my peripheral and looked up to see the ball of white light streak in the sky. My husband saw the whole thing and described the light from the object as being blue/green.
