Observer
Name Cheryl J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was on my way to work when out of nowhere I noticed this bright ball falling from the sky... It turned from a bright whitish to a bright green and then either disappeared or hit the ground. I couldn't tell... But never seen anything like that before! I had my radio on so I couldn't hear if it made a noise...
