| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | William P |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As mentioned earlier, this was 17 minutes after sunset, so the northeast sky was still fairly bright. It caught my attention during a football game enough to turn and actually see it. Appeared to be a very large, round object, size of an aspirin at arms length, blue-green (more blue), no trail, no sound. Went to open window and listened for a while. |
