Reports Report 1866f (Event 1866-2020)

Observer
Name Tammy G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was in a car and only saw it for an instant. It looked like a ball of whitish light with a white/light blue color around the ball and a tail behind it. It came so close to the ground that I thought it had made impact. We turned off the highway to see if we could find where it made impact but we didn’t find anything.
