Observer
Name Karen J
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was sitting on an sectional on my deck looking towards the northwest when I saw this bright white/ orange ball go right overhead. It traveled from the northwest towards the southeast. It had a tail. I saw blue light too but it was so fast I’m not sure exactly what part was blue. I expected to hear a bang when it landed but I heard nothing.

Remarks It had a tail and after that it looked like sparks following possibly orange in colour. It was very fast. I think the tail was blue but the main body was a white circle surrounded by orange.
