| Remarks | I was in the hot tub in the back of the house. A bunch of plains and air craft were flying from the same direction. But coming from that direction and flying towards me. I watched the whole thing from start to finish. It looked like it just appeared. Like it came through the sky like a magic trick for about 5ish seconds. Then just dissapeared through the sky. It had a long train behind it. From my distance, it was about 5-6in in length for the train. The color of the train had layers. Middle layer was light yellow, second layer was yellow, third layer was orange, fourth layer was red, fifth layer was a darker red. Looked very clean cut with all the edges and was very smooth. The ball itself was white/light-yellow. The length of the ball was about 2.5in all around, like a perfect circle. |
