| Name | Julie F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was speaking with my friend in her yard when I saw this event- her back was to it so she didn’t see it- but she witnessed my reaction. I’ve seen lots of shooting stars, meteor showers, etc...this was the most spectacular thing I’ve ever seen fall out of the sky- it was huge and colorful and almost looked animated. A white ball, with blue and a red orange tail. I wish I could draw or paint so I could recreate it. I was facing the hill behind my friend’s home and it disappeared behind there and it seemed like it could have landed at my address (which of course it didn’t). Please contact me with any other information you have or hear about this amazing event! |
