| Remarks | I live in Richmond Heights, Mo, 63117. I was outside around 6:00/6:05am facing south when I noticed a large, round, ball of color appear in the sky. It seemed just a couple blocks south of me. The colors were greenish/blue and yellow and almost seemed separated precisely, like straight down the middle (width wise), but that deteriorated as it fell towards the ground. The train turned lighter has it deteriorated. It couldn\'t have lasted no more than 3 seconds top, from what I saw. |
