Observer
Name Erika R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks As I was looking out my north facing window; I first noticed the large, orange ball. This glowing ball travelled from my right ( east) to the left (west). I believe all other reports are west to east (?). It was quite distinctly large and appeared to get smaller as it travelled westward and disappeared from sight.
