| Name | Karen B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This came suddenly out of no where; I had my dogs out before bed and I just happened to look up at the precise time it was shooting over my head in an arch almost, very close as if right at the top of the tree line, it was a round ball of bright light that shot right over me and disappeared. I stayed outside and looked around for something more but aside from a giant ring around the moon tonight and the usual stars nothing else. It was awesome, but different than what I've seen before plus being so close I sure would like to know what it was if not a fireball, maybe a meteor or something else. If anyone has any insight to what it could have been I would appreciate to know. Thank you. |
