Reports Report 914f (Event 914-2010)

Observer
Name Nancy F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It came from the South west over our heads. We were driving in the Sierra Foot hills and so the vie was soon cut off by the hills. It was shortly before sunset, and it was very bright, like a large round blue bead - about as big as Venus looked this morning 12/27. We had not seen anything like this before, and found it lovely and remarkable.
