| Name | Martha W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I saw an object that had a reddish fire-like ball with a yellow/orange tail. It just \"snuffed out\" as if it had burned up. The tail did not persist long if at all. It definitely was a round object, and not irregular like an airplane. It was large for a meteor, about the apparent size of a grape seed. It tracked in a straight downward line, not from the side. |
