| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was truly a remarkable siting as it was so large, not a star at all but a perfect circle, brilliant white with a blue lining and white tail. My husband and I both saw it. It was only visible less than 3 seconds. It looked as if it had to have made impact as it was so low and the trajectory aiming into the earth. I submitted the my request if others saw the same thing on Nextdoor and had a few responses that they had too. One of the neighbors suggested I report it to you. Thank you for taking my information. I feel very blessed to have witnessed such an unusual occurrence. |
