Reports Report 1212g (Event 1212-2012)

Observer
Name Paul G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was large about the size of a beach ball. It was about 1/4 mile or less from my location going down fast. I have to believe It landed within 2 miles from my location as it was only about 150 yards off the ground as I estimated and going down at a fairly steep angle.
