| Name | Jennifer J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting in my hot tub facing toward Gettysburg, I saw a flash then something falling straight down, very low on the horizon...after the flash when I looked up, I saw white, then yellowish-orange and fade into a very bright blue on the bottom/end before it disappeared completely, no trail, no streak horizontally or diagonally in the sky. My boyfriend was sitting opposite me on the hot tub facing the house and he saw the light from the object on my face and on the house behind me. I’ve seen many meteor showers or shooting star, never saw anything like this with colors and so vivid and low in the horizon. Coolest thing ever and I didn’t get a video or picture it happened so quick! |
