| Name | Richard |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Curious to know what it was and more about its scientific description, please. I saw the ball come in an arc from the South towards the West and it passed by low enough that we felt like we could initiate a huge jump up and touch it! It was percieved as \"right next to us\". |

| Remarks | Saw a large blue-green round \"ball\" that seemed to be part of fireworks at first (but no noise-no other fireworks!). It came directly to where we were standing in our driveway from the opposite direction; we got what seemed to be a very close look!!! There was no tail. It did have a thin dark edge around the blue-green ball. The blue-green had a hazy quality to it, but the coloring was obvious. It disappeared as quickly as it arrived--like someone had thrown a larger than basketball : it quickly changed from being next to us, to heading West and not visible. |
