Reports Report 1281d (Event 1281-2011)

Observer
Name Bob G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have seen thousands of "falling stars" in my lifetime, but can't recall any bright balls with blue trails which seemed much closer and more striking than a typical "white" falling star. However I have just watched the third one in a span of one month. Can anyone give me an explination?
