Observer
Name Antoinette B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was at the intersection facing north and looked to my right to check for on-coming traffic when I noticed something in the sky. At first glance I thought it was a low flying plane as it was fast approaching from the east and traveling very fast going west. But very quickly I saw that it was a ball of fire with a tail of smaller lights ranging in color. The ball was yellow in the middle with like an outer bronze orange perimeter. I didn’t have a chance to get my phone because just like that it was gone but I got a good look at it for a few seconds and just wondered what it was. It was quite remarkable to see.
