| Remarks | Went outside to let the puppy out and was walking around in the yard. I just happened to be looking towards my memaws house, wich is up the road, and a blue electric looking LARGE( as large as the sun in the sky on a clear day) flash of light seemed like it blew up into a blue ball with white in center, very bright, then a large trail of blue with white in the center went down to the tree tops , I followed it until the trees blocked view. It was a large trail at first and seemed to get smaller as it fell toward the ground, but didn\'t completely go away. I have watched meteor showers before and have seen several what I\'d call shooting stars, but this was fary beyond anything I\'ve ever seen. |
