| Name | Christine S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving down west 7mile headed east between the south filed freeway and the lodge freeway. It appeared out of no where possibly a block down ahead of where I was driving on the right hand side over houses in a neighborhood. the tail of it was white. The top half of the ball was white, the middle part of the ball was yellow and the bottom part of the ball was red. As the bright ball got closer to the homes the red portion expanded over the yellow portion as if it go hotter. I did not hear a noise. I did not see a fire once it landed. But I did see a glow above the house. we tried to drive toward the area were we think it may have landed, but we didn't see it. But we also didn't really try hard searching for it either, for fear that it may start an electrical fire or something of that nature. |
