It was a yellow ball of light with a trail. It was low on the horizon. Brief. There and gone. I was standing at the movie theater sidewalk at 22 Gardiner Place in Walton NY. 9:30pm or so? I was looking at the sky. Facing Delaware St and after it happened I waited to see if there was more and I walked around for a long time looking to see what it might have been. No logical explanation for what I saw. Never saw a shooting star like that. Ever. I have never seen anything like it. Hope this helps.
