Reports Report 1394b (Event 1394-2012)

Observer
Name Gizella D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw a white (perhaps even slight blueish) ball appearing perfectly round. Much bigger than any star or airplane in the sky and much brighter. I fell straight down very quickly, only visible for 1 second. I could not see if it hit anywhere as there are many mountains in this area.
