Observer
Name Daniel L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was bright blue with orange around it and an orange / red tail. From my perspective it was large like a low flying military jet and appeared to be descending. I lost sight of it behind the mountains to my left. I expected to hear an explosion but there was nothing. From my perspective it appeared to be headed towards Vail, Colorado and passed nearly over my head.
